Real-time Digital Marketplace for Parking Spaces

I knew parking spaces were precious. Now we have to compete with the alpha digerati to find them. Tele Atlas and SpotScout are collaborating to...

...help drivers find information about available parking spaces via a mobile information network. Combined with Tele Atlas’ highly accurate and up-to-date digital maps, subscribing mobile navigation system users will be able to quickly “spotscout” for and reserve a parking space that a “spotscaster” near them owns, leases or plans to vacate.

Finding the negotiated parking space should be easy, since Tele Atlas has recently announced it will be the data provider for the TomTom ONE in North America.

Q. Have you used any mobile, location-based services recently?
