Yspott – A Marketplace for Private Parking Spots

Yspott

Find quick and inexpensive parking spots in real time.

I was fortunate enough to recently learn about Yspott, a soon-to-be-released platform for booking private parking spots for an allotted period of time. This can be a lifesaver in crowded metropolitan areas, or during a local event like a large concert or sports game. More importantly, however, it utilizes space in a far more efficient manner.

But now, we have more than a few mobile apps to help you find your parked car:

where did I park? Google maps

1. Google Maps on iOS and Android

With just one tap on your iPhone or Android phone, you can pin your parking location to the Google Maps. No more unanswered questions like “where is my car parked” again. This functionality is available to you if you press the blue dot on the app; you can even add specific details like what level you’re on and any landmarks that might help you locate your parked car easier. The app also lets you put a parking location reminder if you’re on a meter 15 minutes before it expires so that you don’t have to fork out extra money.
