Nav issue

Is it really not possible to find nearby stores by name?

For example, how would I find the closest Home Depot or Target? When I search for POIs by name, it seems to return boatloads ordered by the location state with no indication of distance (and requires me to drill down into each to see the state). In every other nav system I've used, I have been able to enter a POI name and it would return a list of hits ordered by distance.

I am really hoping I am missing something.

Thanks!

Hmmm....that's strange. When I use the POI to search restaurants, it does give them to me by distance.

From what I can tell, it works great if you are able to drill down by category (eg. Restaurant, Grocery, Pharmacy, etc) but if the type of business you are looking for does not fall into a category in that list, your kinda screwed.
