ABSTRACT:
An on-board vehicle navigation system parking space finder that offers a driver a competitive edge in finding available on-street parking. Drivers not familiar with an area are able to locate available metered parking spaces with ease. Drivers may be informed, on demand, of what type of currency they need for parking meters in certain areas, so they can stop for change, if necessary. Drivers will have information about maximum time limits for different parking meters, and can use this information to select meters with longer time limits, if necessary. Metered parking information specific to a vehicles current location, as well as metered parking information specific to a requested location, are made optionally available to drivers from within their vehicles.
