Parkunload mobile app shows the currently allowed parking time for the selected vehicle in the zone printed on the vertical signs delimiting the parking area.

Parkunload automatically detects the nearest zone via Bluetooth, but the user can also enter the zone code printed on the sign or select it on the map.

When parking, it is mandatory to start a parking session and when leaving, the current parking session must be ended. The application clearly displays the remaining parking time and notifies when the maximum parking time expires.
