Are there any tools for AP placement of Meraki MR24 APs?

Here is a simple coverage calculator.

Can anyone offer me some advice on the following scenario please?
A street market, street is 100m long and 20m wide. This is the entire length of the street with T-junctions at each end. The market stalls will be down the centre of the street. We don't need to provide wifi we are just collecting presence analytics. I have 5 mr62's and was planning on staggering them diagonally along the street roughly 30m apart. So 3 down one side and 2 on the other. They will be at the outer edges of the street attached to wall of shops for instance.
Internet will be connected to the most central ap and the others meshed in order to send admin data back to cloud.
My question comes in regards to the heat mapping and the ap positioning. Will this configuration be able to adequately show where people are in the market (ie dwell time around stalls) where they come in from and where they leave from?
Or will I need more APs?
Cheers
