First, I would like to congratulate a certain company on their recent product announcement. It is always good to see other people coming into the parking space (no pun intended). It shows that the market is maturing and that there is a growing need for the data, which we provide.
I am a big fan of this other company's neighborhood and transit products; I think they are first rate and very worthwhile.
I would like to point out though that the title of the press release, "...Unveils Industry's Most Comprehensive Database for Off-Street Parking" is not quite correct. We have been working on our parking information database for a number of years and currently have more parking facilities in our database then they claim they will have by next summer. We also collect many more parking attributes than they do. We also offer a full API for finding parking information (which has been available for almost two years), along with accurate parking rate information and in addition we offer real-time parking availability at a subset of our lots in certain areas.
If anyone would like information about ParkingCarma's Parking API, please email us at support at parkingcarma.com with "API" in the subject line.
