The "MISSING LINK" for the purpose of this puzzle, is defined as: the word that slots into the position between the word on the left and the word on the right, to form two compound words or phrases. The dashes indicate the number of letters in the missing link word.
For example, if the words were:
PEANUT __ __ __ __ __ __ FLY,
the missing link word would be, BUTTER
(peanut butter, butterfly).
There are five missing link words for the north and five for the west coordinates.
Total the alpha sums of the five missing links for the NORTH and then divide that three digit number by 1000. ADD that number to the posted NORTH coordinates.
Total the alphas sums of the five missing links for the WEST and then divide that three digit number by 1000. SUBTRACT that number from the posted WEST coordinates.
