About

What is Parknav?

“We’re Waze meets the Weather Channel for street parking.”

Parknav is an app that gives you the optimal route to drive where you are most likely to find open street parking. While we do not guarantee you will find a specific street parking space (since many parking spaces are taken within seconds/minutes after they become available), we can guide you on a path that increases the chances of you finding street parking by up to 300%.

How does it work?

Once users open Parknav, the app geo-locates where you are and gives you a color-coated path (green = good, red = bad…similar to Google Traffic) that directs you on the optimal route to find open street parking. We also have turn-by-turn voice guided GPS navigation so you do not need to look at your phone while driving. The turn-by-turn feature is currently only available on Android; however, it’s coming to iOS soon.

Number of users

We currently have over 65,000 users.
