Abstract
In a method for selecting a parking lot exit, a computer receives geographic coordinates of a first parking exit of a parking facility. The computer receives geographic coordinates of a second parking exit of the parking facility. The computer determines a first route from the first parking exit to a destination, using the geographic coordinates of the first parking exit. The computer determines a second route from the second parking exit to the destination, using the geographic coordinates of the second parking exit. The computer selects one of the first parking exit and the second parking exit based on the first route and the second route.
