NYC's favorite parking application announces full coverage of all 5 NYC boros

PrimoSpot, the only online and mobile application that provides guidance for on-street parking, garage parking, and bike racks, has just added full coverage of all NYC boros, most notably the Bronx and Staten Island. Now more residents and visitors can find both on-street and garage parking more easily - on primospot.com or with the PrimoSpot iPhone or applications.

"It's been a long time coming...we've had most of Manhattan and significant parts of Brooklyn and Queens live since 2008. After working with the NYC DOT, we're now proud to say that with the addition of the Bronx, Staten Island, upper Manhattan and some outlying spots in Brooklyn and Queens, PrimoSpot will be the only mobile parking app to truly cover all of New York City," said Mike Hill, PrimoSpot's founder.

PrimoSpot’s mission is to be the most comprehensive provider of parking information for crowded metropolitan areas, helping people to find parking more conveniently, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Coverage currently includes New York City and Boston/Cambridge, with a number of additional cities on the near horizon.

The team is happy to announce that PrimoSpot service has been expanded to include the Bronx! We know many people were requesting this service - now you can park a lot easier to enjoy all the wonderful things the Bronx offers.

Our next step will be the inclusion of Staten Island, hopefully in the coming week. We'll confirm timing with a blog post.

Once these two areas are complete, we will be proud to say that PrimoSpot is the ONLY comprehensive parking application that services all five boros of New York City!

Once again - thank you for everyone's support and for those who were asking...your patience. Cheers!

We are proud to announce we have just added push notifications reminders to our PrimoSpot Parking iPhone app.

Now in addition to knowing where you parked you car, you can send yourself a reminder when it is time to move it. This might be for how long you can park in at a meter, the parking regulation will go into effect, or even when your garage is closing.

It will default to the best time based on the regulations where you have parked, but you can set it for whenever you like.

For instance, if you use the app to park at an on-street spot and its metered for one hour, the app will set the reminder time for just under one hour. If you park at a side of the street that has a rule that says you can park until 9:30AM, the reminder will be set to 9:25AM.

You can set the reminder a specific date/time or set it to minutes from now (see the screen shot below).

"New York City traffic agents have begun training to learn how to deal with a new law that gives drivers a five-minute grace period in some parking zones" ...

"It gives a five-minute grace period in timed zones and meters before a ticket can be written."

We’re thrilled that our founder Mike was invited to join the conversation on Brian Lehrer Live this past Wednesday, March 24,2010, which was focused on whether new technologies, such as mobile parking applications, are helping the congestion and parking challenges in NYC.

Great points were made by David King, a professor of urban planning at Columbia. We do feel that once there is wider use of available parking applications such as PrimoSpot, people will be parking smarter. The only thing that will truly help congestion is less cars! Since that is not a near-term reality, we think that technology that saves time and gas sure doesn't hurt. We actually look forward to connecting with him in the future.

For the many many folks who have downloaded our parking reminder application, iParked in the iTunes store, we completed a key feature for this app - specifically, push notifications.

Not only will you be able to set a reminder as to where you parked, but you'll also be able to set a reminder for when your meter expires or even when your garage is closing, and receive a notification. You can chose to get a notification for a specific date/time or choose minutes from now (see the screen shot below).

This feature is now live in the iParked app and will soon be rolled out to our main app, PrimoSpot Parking.

Happy Parking!

We have added information for the area around Harvard University campus area in Cambridge, MA.

If you watched the Apple iPad keynote yesterday, you may have noticed our app made an appearance:

Steve Jobs was discussing the great apps available for the iPhone, and included our app in the slide at 1:30. The same image was shown later at 2:47. We are honored to be featured by Apple in this way!

PrimoSpot is excited about the new device. We're looking forward to releasing a Primospot app for the iPad that will take full advantage of the larger screen and new interface capabilities. Stay tuned for more details!

We have added in parking information for the neighborhood of Bensonhurst in Brooklyn. Bed Stuy is well on its way also. Look for more Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island soon.
