The following coordinate fixes are needed for KV58 (burial site in Valley of the Kings).

KV58 Article includes this description of the location: "The tomb was discovered on 10 January 1909 and is located between the tomb of Horemheb (KV57) and the "Gold Tomb" (KV56)."

Which means it should be between KV57 and  KV56: KV57: 25° 44′ 23.6″ N, 32° 36′ 2.6″ E (25.739889, 32.600722) 36R 459953 2846939 KV56: 25° 44′ 24.2″ N, 32° 36′ 3.9″ E (25.740056, 32.601083) 36R 459990 2846958 (about 40 meters apart)

But KV58 coordinates show this location some 1.3 km east of where it should be. KV58: 25° 44′ 23.8″ N, 32° 36′ 51.5″ E (25.739944, 32.614306) 	36R 461316 2846941

I suspect the real coordinates should be closer to: 25° 44′ 23.8″ N, 32° 36′ 3.0″ E (25.73994386, 32.60084081) 36 R 459965 2846945

This site doesn't appear to have been surveyed in the Thebes Mapping Project.

 * Google Maps has a marker for KV58 at 25° 44′ 23.8″ N	32° 36′ 3.6″ E, which is indeed between KV57 and KV56, so I've changed the coordinates in the article to match those. It's curious that the coordinates that were in the article were correct save for the seconds of longitude, but I don't see any way that "51.5" could have been a typo for anything close to "03".
