Frustrated Londoner Chris Bocsardy is the brain behind this handy app called iparkmycar. It’s made for London drivers who constantly struggle to find an empty parking space. Here’s what the application does (from the press release):

iparkmycar gives Londoners and those visiting the city the inside track on how to be one step ahead of the parking wardens. Wherever you are in London, iparkmycar shows the closest car parks and residential parking zones (know as Controlled Parking Zones, or CPZs) which can also have a pay and display option. Often, council car parks and CPZs are only patrolled during certain hours which vary from borough to borough and zone to zone, but iparkmycar will indicate when the parking wardens clock off so that you can take advantage of the free parking on offer.

In other words, with iparkmycar you can plan ahead and figure out where you’ll leave your car when in the city. Then, when you discover some neat spots, save them to favorites for later access. I love the idea and I’ve no doubts Londoners will love it too. ;)
