Google updated its search application with the ability to show when businesses are at their busiest. Google Search results will display a graph that depicts the location's average foot traffic throughout the day. Google suggests the feature might be helpful in avoiding long lines for that afternoon latte. The feature is part of the latest version of Google Search for Android, which is free to download from the Play Store.

Would be cool, if...

If it showed live stats and not just statistical averages, that would be pretty awesome. Most people don't want to analyze a bar graph to see when their shop is busy, they want to see live realtime search results to see if the place is busy RIGHT NOW. I mean I'm 100% sure Google has realtime GPS locations of every Android phone in their database. And the Apple users running Google apps too.
