Overview

Passport’s mobile application uses GPS coordinates to accurately recommend nearby zones in the app to your parkers. Additionally, zones set up with the proper GPS coordinates will be accurately located on the map in Find Parking.

Instructions

1. To confirm that your zones currently have accurate GPS information, please send an Excel file with a list of your Zones and corresponding GPS coordinates to our Client Operations team create a Support Ticket. The team will perform an audit to confirm that all coordinates are up to date.
2. In order to find the correct GPS Coordinates (latitude and longitude) for each Zone, follow these instructions.
   1. Navigate to Google Maps.
   2. Search for your Parking Lot/Garage/Zone.
   3. Select on the map where you want the pin for Find Parking to show.
   4. Please note, we cannot map “areas.” Drop a single pin for one zone. For zones that cover several blocks, please select the most centralized spot.
   5. A grey pin will drop on Google Maps. The coordinates will be listed in 2 places. Latitude (Lat) is always listed first.
