The 579 Streetline Parker 4.0 parking guidance app for the iPhone features one-click turn-by-turn voice navigation, updated design, and more than 23,000 parking garage locations.

Developed by US-headquartered smart parking specialist Streetline Parker 4.0 features a clean, updated design; an easy-to-use side panel menu; and one-click turn-by-turn voice navigation, enhancing the hands-free capabilities of the app.

Utilising data from Streetline's real-time sensor network in more than thirty-five locations globally and parking garage and lot data for more than 23,000 off-street locations, Parker displays open on-street parking in real time, as well as available parking at garages and nearby parking lots.

"Streetline introduced the world's first parking guidance app in 2010 and has since continued to spark the imagination for how technology can change the way we think about parking," said Zia Yusuf, president and CEO of Streetline. "With this latest release of Parker, Streetline again raises the bar for what consumers can expect from parking guidance apps, making it even easier for motorists to locate parking so they can go about spending their time on the more important activities of their day."

"With Parker, our goal was to go beyond just helping drivers locate a parking space; we want them to find the right space," added Vito Salvaggio, Streetline’s senior vice president, product management. "Parker allows users to search by parking type - metered space, garage/lot, ADA accessible, or electric vehicle charging stations. The app shows available parking relative to your current location and also lets motorists filter spots by price."
