Yes, but more intelligent software could see that it is a huge object with
this address and ask where exactly you want to go. Huge objects like this
tend to have several entrances, obviously a centroid will not work well.
Also, a software could recognize automatically which entrances are inside
or on the perimeter of a given (area) address. All this will not work with
just a node.

Cheers,
