It's useful to get the general location of the mailbox in order to search around for it, but I wouldn't put it on a map as a node. (*) Without writing a script, which, frankly, would be pretty easy to write. The US is under 4 million square miles in area. A search query provides results in areas up to a 100 mile radius. A square which fits in a circle with a 100 mile radius is 20,000 square miles in area. 4 million divided by 20,000 is 200. Multiply by two to more than account for areas which overlap oceans. So you could get the whole database in 400 queries.
