Imagine driving to a place and finding a place to park is incredibly difficult. Annoying, right?

Well, Google Maps may soon have a solution for that. According to an Android Police report, a new feature that lets you know the parking situation at any given destination is already in beta testing.

Apparently, in the latest beta version of Maps (available via APK Mirror for Android 4.3 and above), you will find an icon marked "P".

That icon will also be beside a term that shows the parking situation at your destination. So, if parking is available, you'll see a green "P" with "Available" written beside it. If there are no parking spaces available, you'd see a red "P" marked "Limited." Cool, right?

When you even set off for your destination, you will be able to expand the direction to get a more descriptive break-down of the parking situation.

Maybe I'll finally get a break from LASTMA towing my car every two weeks.
