Parking Meter GPS app review: parking simplified

Introduction

If you’re the kind of person who parks your car in a lot of different locations and often have trouble finding it then you might want to check out Parking Meter GPS for iPhone and iPad to make your life a little easier.

Although this isn’t the kind of app that I can imagine myself using on a regular basis I can definitely see how it would come in handy if you’re in a big or otherwise unfamiliar city for the day and want the peace of mind that you’ll be easily able to locate your car when you need to get back to it.

Park With Peace of Mind

This is a very simple little app that uses your device’s integrated GPS to easily find your car in parking lots or on street-level parking meters; you can even store a photograph of where you parked your car so you can more easily spot it later on.

One of the best features of Parking Meter GPS besides the basic GPS functionality is that you can set up timers to keep track of how long is left on your meter, and you’ll receive a notification when your time has run out or will shortly expire.

Set Parking Meter Reminders

I think that this is a great idea because it will save you from having to anxiously check your watch (or phone) every few minutes to know how long you have until you need to return to your vehicle.

This is a solid app overall that definitely receives my recommendation; the interface looks clean and modern in its design, and you can clearly see that the developer has strived to create a GPS app that is simple yet delivers on its promises.
