Abstract

GPS-based applications have become very popular during the last years, specially among drivers, who use them to find the best way to their destination However, their use is still far from taking advantage of the wide range of possibilities that GPS offers The SIAPAS application goes one step further by adding new functionality to the typical GPS-based map SIAPAS runs on a PDA and it allows drivers to find a parking space that suits their needs inside a parking lot This paper describes how the system has been designed and implemented, and shows the results of some experiments that have been carried out to test its utility and usability.
