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.
