Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for mapping parking locations and for selecting parking are described. A search for parking resources proximate to a destination geographic location is performed. Parking information is generated based on the results of the search. The parking information may be displayed on a map of the destination geographical location. A map of the destination geographical location may be displayed with the parking information. A user may be enabled to select a parking location indicated on the map. The user may reserve the selected parking location if the selected parking location is determined to be reservable. Travel directions (e.g., for walking) from the selected parking location to the destination geographic location may be generated, and may be indicated on the map.
