Briefings

Apple Maps may soon include parking duration into journey ETAs for busy city trips, addressing a common frustration where driving time exceeds parking time. This feature is based on code found in iOS 27.3, though the specific implementation timeline and geographic scope remain unconfirmed.

Key points

• iOS 27.3 contains code suggesting Apple Maps will factor in parking duration into journey ETAs for busy city trips.
• Waze partnered with Garmin to improve cyclist safety using real-time location tracking to alert nearby drivers.

Context

Users often find driving to a parking spot takes longer than the trip itself. This feature aims to resolve that inefficiency by accounting for parking time in trip estimates.

Limitations

The specific rollout timeline, geographic coverage, and technical implementation details are not confirmed. The evidence is limited to a single code snippet from iOS 27.3 without further validation.
