Parking Fines a Thing of the Past with Park

A new free iPhone app developed by two Brisbane men could ensure you never get another parking fine. The app uses the phone's inbuilt GPS to alert users when they need to start walking back to their cars before their ticket expires. Users scan or input parking details, the phone will track their movements and use an algorithm to tell them when they need to begin walking back to their cars. It could also save losing track of where you parked your car. Currently only available for iPhones via iTunes and through www.parkingmaestro.com. The app is being adapted for Android.
