Report an open parking spot

Reporting works the same way on both maps: tap Report open spot, place the crosshair at the exact curb, and confirm the number of spaces, vehicle fit for a single space, and any useful location hint. The final crosshair position is the parking location; a suggested address only helps you aim.

What differs is who sees it and the rules it follows:

• On the public map, signed-in drivers nearby see it under your public name. It needs a verified email and your location near the spot, and it fades on its own. See Share an open spot on the public map.
• On a group map, only the group’s approved members see it. It has to be inside the group’s parking area and on a curb, and it follows the group’s expiry setting. See Report a spot in a private group.

A report never appears on the other map.
