No account is required. The iOS app saves drafts and saved places on your device; the website saves its draft in your browser. Guides include addresses, map pins, and notes. We do not maintain an account-based guide database. Delete app drafts in the app, or clear browser storage to remove the website draft.
Location access is optional and helps center the map. You can search or place pins instead. The next iOS update uses Apple MapKit for maps and address search. Older released versions use Google Maps and Google Places. The web builder uses OpenStreetMap tiles and Nominatim address search. The app also uses Nominatim for road information; both versions request public parking records from city services.
These providers receive the requests needed to show maps or answer searches, including relevant coordinates, search text, and network information such as your IP address. See Apple Maps privacy information, Google’s privacy policy, and the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy. The historical Street View sign service has been retired.
The website uses Google Analytics to measure visits, quiz activity, and use of the map builder. Google Analytics may use cookies and receive device and network information. Our custom events report actions and scores, not guide addresses or notes. The new iOS build does not load website Analytics or include an analytics SDK.
Our web server can log IP addresses, request URLs, and times for operation and troubleshooting. URLs can contain a searched address. We do not describe these logs as anonymous. Map and search providers handle their own request data under their policies.
Sharing sends your graphic to the destination you choose. An editable map link contains the guide’s address, coordinates, and notes; anyone with the link can read them. Share it only with intended recipients.
Guides reflect their creator’s choices. Public parking data and quiz photos may be incomplete or outdated. They do not guarantee that parking is legal or available. Check current signs and local rules. StreetParkingMap does not accept responsibility for tickets, towing, or other losses arising from reliance on this information.
