Ah, that's no good. What I'm trying to do is search through a large area (like a state or country), and record the all the addresses of a type of business (for example, all Starbucks). It would have been nice if I could have specified a search area, like a certain range of latitude and longitude, so as to avoid double entries, but I guess I'll just have to search around incremental coordinates and run an algorithm to delete doubles. Thanks anyway.
