ParkEz helps you decide where to search for street parking before you arrive. Search for an address or press and hold a point on the map. ParkEz compares the streets around your destination and displays a clear estimate using four probability levels. With ParkEz, you can: • Search for addresses and places. • Select a destination directly from the map. • View nearby streets using a clear colour system. • Compare the areas where parking is more likely. • Consider the estimated probability and distance to your destination. • Open your selected area in Apple Maps. • Save destinations for quick access. Estimates consider available street characteristics, the surrounding area, time of day, day of the week and other relevant factors. ParkEz provides probability estimates and does not guarantee that a parking space will be available. Always check local signs, restrictions and parking regulations before parking. An internet connection is required to perform new searches. Access to the app requires a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription, without a free trial. The price and terms are shown before purchase. You can manage or cancel your subscription from your Apple Account settings.
