I moved the "Hangzhou Shi" China node from way out in the mountains south of town to the middle of West Lake which is a Hangzhou landmark. This way you will at least see Hangzhou within the screen when you search for it (assuming the database updates per my edit which it might do tomorrow, Thursday, January 15, 2009 [but it did not]).

Why is the "Hangzhou Shi" node out in the mountains?
The satellite photo (only shows when you are in edit mode) clearly shows the "Hangzhou Shi" node is incorrectly located -- nothing but mountains there.
