FPSnavLive beats statistics
Probabilities help with planning. When parking, what counts is what is free right now, and how old the report is.
About
Built in Vienna, for Vienna’s streets.
FPSnav is a young company from Vienna. We believe the search for parking isn’t fate. It’s an information problem.
The problem
Whoever parks in the city circles.
Studies of parking search estimate that up to around 30 percent of moving traffic in dense inner cities is cars looking for a space. Vienna is one big short-stay parking zone, street space is shrinking, the number of cars is growing. Every search minute avoided saves time, fuel and nerves, and frees the street for everyone else.
Our answer
The information already exists.
It’s in the car that is just pulling out. FPSnav turns it into a map: whoever leaves a spot reports it with a photo; the app checks the report automatically and shows it to everyone else for 15 minutes. No fleet of our own, no sensors in the asphalt, just what drivers see anyway.
A spot that opened two minutes ago is worth more than any probability. The sentence FPSnav started with.
What we believe
Three sentences every decision has to pass.
Legal is part of free
A spot you may not park on is not a spot. So we check signs and markings too.
Privacy isn’t a feature
No ads, no tracking, photos only for the check. That’s the foundation, not an extra.
