Google Maps Show Santa Monica Parking in Real Time

google_maps_parking.jpg

Google and the city of Santa Monica teamed up earlier this year to provide real-time data on the city operated parking lots. It helps you can plan ahead and hopefully save some time when heading to 3rd Street Promenade or the beach.

Today, they are now recommending the use of street view to check parking signs, parking rates and bicycle rack locations before you being your journey. Unfortunately, you can't zoom in on parking meters to know what their new hours and rates are.

Get the Big Blue Bus hooked up to Google, and then we're really talkin.

Have those increased prices on the meters taken effect yet? I'm curious where these $4/hr areas are.

They have, in some areas at least. Not sure if the whole city is done yet. So keep your eye out!
