Apple has been working hard in recent times to make its Maps application more and more relevant, something that we see reflected in the recent changes made to it in iOS 10, where improvements are obvious from the first moment we enter the application. The number of people who use the native Maps app in their day to day is increasing, and Apple wants to make this figure continue to grow with extras like the one we tell you today, which undoubtedly represent a good incentive to opt for it .
Parkopedia is one of the most reputable applications when searching for car parks and parking areas in cities, having about 40 million registered parking spaces in a total of 75 countries. Today they have announced that they have an agreement with Apple to begin including the information from their database regarding these parking areas in the company's Maps application, which will offer us a more detailed view of the best areas to park. our vehicle. Despite the fact that until now there were some signs within the app that indicated certain parking areas, this step represents a new level for users, simplifying the tedious task of looking for the best place to park.
Although what we see in the Maps app will not be everything, since we will be able to access specific details and characteristics through Parkopedia's own platforms, according to themselves:
Apple Maps users will be able to view key information about parking lots and squares around the world. In addition, they will have the option of directly accessing the Parkopedia website or the iOS app to see more detailed information such as price, user reviews, special offers and real-time availability. It will also be possible to make reservations.
The response of users to this initiative remains to be seen but, as we said at the beginning, this is a very good excuse to start using Apple Maps on a regular basis.
