| Nokia Parking App |
Because finding that elusive parking space could take forever, Nokia
has unveiled an upcoming service called Nokia Parking. The service,
which is set to be launched in Europe in November, not only would assist
users to find parking but even helps them pay for it to avoid getting
towed.
Nokia Parking was first demonstrated on the Windows Phone-powered
Lumia 800. The struggling smartphone maker made clear that Nokia
Parking is not an app, but a service that can be licensed to other
developers to integrate into their own apps. This means you while you
will not be able to download a native Nokia Parking app, you may be able
to utilize a local parking app that uses Nokia Parking in the
background.
The service uses GPS coordinates to determine all the available
parking in a certain locality, as well as provide information about the
size and maximum height of parking garages.
Nokia Parking can also aggregate payment information, meaning you can
already pay for that parking spot if you are several feet away with
just a button tap. And as you leave, tap another button to
automatically process your payment. This automatic payment method does
away from fumbling for change.
