I have coordinates of a landed property somewhere near Benin city, Nigeria. Coordinates are given as:
248 600.773 mN 347 786.232 mE
Where is this location in Google maps?
-
It should be somewhere in the "Evbovbioba" area, postal code 300102. Approximate location of this postal code is lat 6.21839, lon 5.5269. Still, I would like to know the exact location of the property as indicated by the unknown coordinates above.– ursohahaCommented Mar 25, 2017 at 15:14

The property should be somewhere in the proximity of Benin city. Few kilometers south of city centre. This one is way off from where it should be.– ursohahaCommented Mar 25, 2017 at 18:25
