Potău sits inside Satu Mare County, Romania and ranks #79 of 141 cities in Satu Mare County by population.

View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.

📏 Reading the Distance Figures

  • Miles (mi): the everyday unit in the US, UK and most aviation cockpits
  • Kilometers (km): the metric standard used almost everywhere else, including most freight and shipping paperwork

  • Compass Bearing: the 16-point heading from Potău to each place listed — see the distance tables above

  • Route Planning: Build delivery loops or sales-visit circuits starting from Potău outward to the closest towns first
  • New-Market Scouting: Spot the nearest untapped urban centers before committing to a regional expansion
  • Freight Estimating: Get a fast first read on road, rail or air distances before requesting an actual freight quote
