Google Maps adds parking difficulty icon in 25 metro areas

Parking can sometimes be a pain, especially if you live in a busy city and you’re trying to find a spot on a Friday or Saturday night. Google Maps is here to help.

Google today launched a new parking difficulty icon in Google Maps. When you see this icon next to your destination, you’ll know that parking might be tough to come by when you arrive.

There are different parking difficulty ranges, including limited, medium, and easy. This info is based on historical parking data.

• San Francisco
• Seattle

• Atlanta
• Boston
• Charlotte
