It's not clear that the map traffic layer refreshes periodically #8

From what I've seen on Stack Overflow the Traffic Layer in Google Maps won't update automatically without more code. It would be great if this was added to the module with a configurable refresh interval.

I tried finding more documentation on the refresh frequency but wasn't able to find any. From my experience though, the map does refresh often (within minutes). Load the map and watch it at different times and you'll see it change. It's much like the Google Maps app on a phone.
