New question card for Parking

One of the important and repetitive questions topic in many places is about parking. Previously the app was asking different question cards for different types of parking.

But now, Google merged all in one question and we are able to select different types and then send them at once.

I think this is a good change and helps users to better understand these different types.

Ich finde es sehr BegrĂĽĂźenswert, dass die Fragen alle detaillierter geworden sind :+1:

Es sind ja noch mehr.

Thanks a lot for the notification @Amiran ! So far, I haven’t seen it yet.

Talking about parking, a missing response comes to my mind: What exactly means “… available here”? In many old towns with pedestrian-only areas and no curb parking you won’t find any parking right in front of the venue and the question is merely how far do I have to walk from the closest parking. Many times, when getting this question, I ask myself: Yes, there is a parking, but you have to walk xx meters. Does it still count as available here?

Thanks @WilfriedB

Nice question.

In my opinion, street parking which is related to a place is what is used regularly for people to park and go to the place. So it should not be compared to an exact distance for all places.

Thanks for mentioning it @ShailendraOjha

It is nice except I don’t know where is the drawing magnet to connect the new road to the existing roads :slightly_smiling_face:

The magnet worked in my next try!

Yes @Amiran this is a welcome change rather improvement.

Have you also noticed, this way they have also optimised the point awarding system?

Instead of awarding 1 point each for every answers now in one go only 1 point is awarded to user irrespective of one or many questions answered. And, this makes sense.

Yes @Kumaarsantosh

I agree with you @ShailendraOjha . Now it’s less time consuming as number of clicks are less while adding road compared to the earlier mode.

Yes @Amiran I’ve been seeing this quite often in recent days. Lots of extra points for places where I’d previously answered all the other questions. Apart from the points, I like this presentation of the question and its possible answers.

No @WilfriedB . If the parking space is not immediately adjacent to the POI and perhaps reserved for visitors to that business, I wouldn’t count it as “available here”. For example, no parking is allowed on the main street of our city where the big stores are located, but I might be able to park on a side street nearby and walk back. I don’t consider those side streets as parking that’s actually related to the POIs on the main street.

@Amiran Thanks for the update, it looks better now. It’s not yet available to me on my iPhone.

This looks much better and more options now. I’m liking the colour change. There has been an update which I posted yesterday, but I like this one more.
