My concept: An Iphone/Ipad application that aids a tourist or local into a city of choice.
View the best route into the city by car, car parks available with prices and convenience rating, maps and tourist destinations – how to get there , general city information about driving and entering the city and finally experiences and rating from other people that have visited. This application can be purchased from the ‘Apple Store’ online or directly from Iphone or Ipad.
Main Features:
· Discover the prices, location, size, and accessibility of the multi story car parks in a detailed description, for example the height of the car park for larger vehicles. How many spaces available in the car park.
· View the ‘Out of town’ car parks – park and ride and the convenience of these.
· Come up with the best route to enter the city centre with a 3 dimensional map – showing 1-way streets, any special driving systems or to not enter the city at all.
· View free car parks in and around the city.
· Show on road parking spaces available
· Prices of car parks in the city – from cheapest to most expensive on a map and location of each car park in consideration to the city centre or tourist destinations.
· Show car parks with specialist facilities, i.e. parent and toddler spaces, disabled spaces and if they accept credit cards.
· What about if you are a regular in the city? This application would also work for those familiar with the parking systems in the city and just needing to find the car park with the most spaces at the cheapest price.
· Part of the application advertises tourist destinations in the city of choice. By entering the city of choice it will automatically generate the most popular tourist destinations and attractions. This will include prices, events and key dates. For example, Oxford Castle and Prison.
· The facility to view comments from people that have visited the city with tourist suggestions. People that have used this application and comments about it. Comments on the general city centre with tips for parking, entering etc.
Research into and examples of similar Iphone applications:
Other Applications:
1) G-park - When you park your car, you hit "park me" and it drops a GPS flag on your current location. When you can't remember where you parked, you just hit "where did I park?" and Google maps gives you turn-by-turn directions back to your car. If you spend any time in unfamiliar towns you may well find it very useful.
2) NCP – to find an NCP car park and then plan your route to it, straight from your iPhone. It can also help you to find and return to your parked car.
- Find an NCP car park that’s conveniently located near to where you need to be
- Plan your driving route and get walking directions from the nearest NCP car park to your destination
- Once you’ve parked, record your car’s location and get walking directions back to it so you can find your car again at the end of your day
