A computer-implemented method for tracking parking spot availability includes receiving, at a computer server system from a mobile computing device that is remote from the computer server system, a report of an open parking spot and parking data that indicates a geographic location of the open parking spot, the report being generated based at least in part on determined movement of the mobile computing device; starting a timer relating to the open parking spot; receiving, at the computer server system and from one or more mobile computing devices, one or more requests for reporting of open parking spots; determining whether a time relating to the open parking spot has expired; and based on determining that a time relating to the open parking spot has not expired, providing in response to the one or more requests, data for generating a graphical indication of the open parking spot on a map of an area around the open parking spot for display on the one or more computing devices. |
