The bright GRB110406A (GCN 11890, 11893), was detected by Mars Odyssey
(HEND), MESSENGER (GRNS), Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL SPI-ACS, Suzaku WAM,
RHESSI, and Swift BAT (outside the coded field of view).  We have
triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma confidence error box whose
corners are:


       RA(2000)                          DEC(2000)
 17.008898= 1 h  8 m  2.14 s     36.015742= 36 o  0 '  56.67 "
 16.578396= 1 h  6 m 18.82 s     35.984576= 35 o 59 '   4.48 "
 18.141649= 1 h 12 m 34.00 s     35.601842= 35 o 36 '   6.63 "
 17.702525= 1 h 10 m 48.61 s     35.586179= 35 o 35 '  10.24 "

The best-fit position is RA, Dec= 17.340, +35.809.  The error
box area is ~600 sq. arcmin. 

Due to its proximity to the Sun, this position cannot be observed
by Swift.

This error box can be improved.
