Thanks, Mike. That's really neat. Didn't think about the one letter idea.
That would work.

Paul,

You can easily plop yourself in any city. just put a single letter in the
street field and you will be presented with a list of streets starting with
that letter. Pick any of them. Once you are in the vicinity, you can use a
number of techniques to get to the center of town. Search for the city name
in the city category, choose 1st street and the like.

Mike

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.
