The primary purpose of Prishtina Smart Parking is to make it easier for citizens in Prishtina to find available parking spaces throughout the city. The app provides real-time data on parking availability, allowing users to locate parking spots more efficiently, reducing time spent searching and decreasing traffic congestion. The app integrates with Google Maps to offer turn-by-turn navigation, ensuring that drivers can easily reach their selected parking location. Additionally, the app enhances the overall parking experience by helping users avoid full parking lots and guiding them to the nearest available spaces.

A key feature of the app that requires background location access is the continuous real-time navigation and parking space availability updates. This feature allows the app to provide up-to-date navigation instructions to drivers as they approach their destination, even if the app is running in the background or the user is not actively interacting with it. As the user drives, the app uses background location data to monitor their proximity to the parking area, update parking availability in real-time, and suggest alternative parking spaces if necessary. This ensures that users can receive uninterrupted guidance to available parking spaces, contributing to a smoother and more convenient parking experience without requiring constant interaction with the app.
