Best Practices

• Use a smaller radius (500-1000m) in dense urban areas where parking is nearby but hard to find

• Use a larger radius (2000-3000m) near stadiums, airports, or suburban destinations

• Include the venue name in your query for contextual results (e.g., "parking near Madison Square Garden")

• Combine with the route skill to get walking directions from parking to your destination

• Combine with the relationship skill to compare distances between multiple parking options

• Specify "parking garages" or "street parking" in the query for more targeted results
