What We Search for When Using Local Searches

Per TeleNav’s study of searches in Dec 2009:

An analysis of searches conducted by TeleNav users in December 2009 indicated that Wal-Mart topped the list as the number one U.S. business TeleNav customers sought out while using their GPS service. Starbucks took a close second, proving Americans’ obsession with morning lattes and mochaccinos is still quite strong. Two more large retailers, Target and Best Buy, took the third and fourth spots respectively, while Bank of America rounded out the top five most searched destinations in the country.

You can also learn which cities do the most searches (not sure if that normalized by population) and what foods are most sought.
