## What is parkken?

parkken is a one-of-a-kind Map and App that translates and simplifies into simple graphics or plain English the Manhattan parking rules for any time and place you request.  Simply fill in the “CAN I PARK HERE?" Query dialog and the parkken App scans the majority parking rules for the block at the hour and address selected by you. It displays a Parking Gauge graphic that shows a quick Yes, No, or Soon picture of legal parking allowed.

The Area Gauges show multiple Parking Gauge readouts for surrounding blocks.

This new version's (3.10.87) CAN I PARK HERE?, Parking Gauge, and Text queries as well as Area Gauges have been updated to interpret restored parking rules after Covid. The signs on the block are once again the rule..

The Base Map and its Clock Symbols will continue to interpret non-commercial parking rules for an overall view.

The app also includes locations for pay garages and lots, as needed. A pilot program for garage savings coupons is underway.

The App has a GPS button that will orient the map to your location and a Favorites function for storing Quick Links to your favorite neighborhoods.

An Alternate Side Suspension Days Calendar page shows you days you don't have to move your car for street sweeping.
