Hi, Tom. They make a great lam and rice dish as well. Also, their Lemmon
pepper shrimp is wonderful.
I just put in main street figuring every city has a main street. I just
tried setting a  virtual point just for the city of Sacramento, but it
doesn't let you.
You have to enter a street and at least pick a cross street.
Too bad we couldn't just jump to a city and have a look around.

Hi Paul,

Hi, Guys. I don't see an easy way of doing this. It might be a neat feature
for a future version.
I live in Clovis, California. I want to see where the nearest P. f. Chang
Chinese restaurant is. I know there is one in Sacramento.
I know this because my daughter lives in Fair Field, near sacramento.
I could put in her address, but what if I didn't have an address to enter?
How could I switch to sacramento so I could do a poi search for P. f.
Chang's?
 
Got a hankerin' for some Kung Pao chicken, or maybe some orange beef, eh?  
 
I know nothing about Sacramento's layout, so I began my search in Sacramento
by arbitrarily picking 10th street, then picking a cross street, which was J
street, if I recall.  I set that intersection as a virtual point, then did a
poi search under restaurants for P F Chang's China Bistro.  There's one at
1530 J street.  It's roughly 152 miles away from Clovis, or about 155.83
miles to 10th and South Clovis.  You could go about 125 miles west and hit
the P F Chang's in San Jose if that's a better option.  I didn't check out
Fairfield for locations.
 
We have several of them down here in the Los Angeles area.  The orange beef,
by the way, is absolutely killer, especially with the house chow mein and
some mixed vegetables on the side and of course, a tall, cold Tsing Tao
Chinese beer, or two or three.  Yum!
