report:

Using the BepiColombo (MGNS) data we have further improved
the previous IPN box for GRB 230307A (Kozyrev et al., GCN Circ. 33425).
The coordinates of the updated 3 sigma error box are:
---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
    60.867 (04h 03m 28s) -75.382 (-75d 22' 57")
  Corners:
    60.846 (04h 03m 23s) -75.417 (-75d 25' 03")
    61.006 (04h 04m 01s) -75.357 (-75d 21' 26")
    60.889 (04h 03m 33s) -75.348 (-75d 20' 51")
    60.728 (04h 02m 55s) -75.408 (-75d 24' 28")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 8 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 5 arcmin (the minimum one is 1.8 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 80 deg.

This box may be further improved.

The distance between the IPN box center and X-ray/optical
transient position (X-ray Source #2 in Burrows et al., GCN Circ. 33429;
Levan et al., GCN Circ. 33439; Lipunov et al. GCN Circ. 33441;
O'Connor et al., GCN Circ. 33447; Im et al., GCN Circ. 33449;
Vanderspek et al., GCN Circ. 33453)
is 15 arcsec, which further strengthen the interpretation of transient as
the burst afterglow.
