Week 4: There is an app for that!

With the holiday season soon upon us and the driving need we all have to get the best possible stuff for the cheapest amount of cash possible, one thing that is for sure: people will be running short on is patience. When you have been shopping all day and had to drag a screaming, tired child from one store to the next, it is actually very easy to get turned around and think you parked your car on one side of the store when you may have actually parked it elsewhere. My idea for an app, keeping track of where you parked your car. While it may seem like something a person wouldn’t forget, there are many things that could actually happen that make this app seem not so foolish. Do you know your license plate number? Unless you have a vanity plate odds are that you probably don’t. You are driving a brand new white Honda civic? Congrats. So are maybe a thousand other people in the city. Wonder why your doors aren’t unlocking even though you have pressed the unlock button a number of times? Take a look genius, that isn’t your car.

                Especially here in Vegas where you have multiple levels of parking structures, perhaps you might think that is your white Chevy Impala on the second floor, but yours is actually 2 floors up. What if you are just visiting a city? Perhaps you aren’t familiar with the street names or even the district that you are parked in (i.e. Financial district, the Art district). No problem. Tell the app to connect to the GPS system on your smart phone and mark the place where you are currently standing as the location of your parking spot and shop away!
