Actual location?

edit

This article formerly listed coordinates of 19°45′S 174°18′W / 19.750°S 174.300°W / -19.750; -174.300 which was clearly wrong; that's Foa.

But it's hard to find the correct location. The few on-line sources I can find (including the NIMA database) list coordinates of 20°00′S 174°45′W / 20.000°S 174.750°W / -20.000; -174.750. There's also a Google Books result to a book Pacific Islands Pilot which says "Foua is a small rocky islet, 30 feet high, with a single tree upon it, situated 1.1 mile northeastward of Tongua Island.".

In Google Earth / Google Maps I can find a tiny island not far away at 20°00′11″S 174°44′32″W / 20.00306°S 174.74222°W / -20.00306; -174.74222, which is what I've currently set this article's coordinates to. Confirmation or correction welcome. —Steve Summit (talk) 22:51, 1 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
