True, but is that what google maps is even saying? I have always understood it to be "phones in this area per hour" or whatever, I have never thought or got the impression it would tell you how busy a delivery place is based off of delivery load. Does anyone have a source that says one way or another? I could see it either way.

I'd love a more knowledgeable answer as well!

We'll probably never get it, though? Seems like one of those algorithmic things Google holds close to its chest.

I would think, though, that if it's going to be meaningful whatsoever for a delivery business... it couldn't rely solely on "phones in this area per hour." But I'm just a random yahoo speculating.
