GBM team, report:

GRB 130828A (GCN 15128, 15129, 15130, 15132, 15133) was also observed
by Mars Odyssey-HEND.  We have triangulated this burst to the following
3 sigma error box, whose area is 28 square arcminutes:

   RA(2000)                       Dec(2000)
259.728=17 h 18 m 54 s     28.196= 28 o 11 '  46 "
259.867=17 h 19 m 28 s     28.316= 28 o 18 '  58 "
259.707=17 h 18 m 49 s     28.115= 28 o 06 '  54 "
259.846=17 h 19 m 23 s     28.235= 28 o 14 '  06 "

The Swift XRT source (GCN 15135) lies outside this error box.
