Purpose of the application


The application itself was developed under the mobile operator Tele2 to provide mobile parking in Estonia. The development took about a month and three bags of coffee.

Development process


Then we have not had lime and developed in Java. Particular attention was paid to determining the location and automatic loading of the parking databases. Programming the parking function itself via SMS was not a big problem, surprisingly there were few pitfalls (and maybe the operator’s support was up to par).
With the evolution of design, the story is more exciting. Looking now at these sketches it seems that the designer was studying the history of engineering.

Evolution of design




1. Something is missing !?



2. The machine! But isn't it too small !?



3. Cheers! Too square?



4. Cheers! American is still too square!

In general, we decided that evolution should not be hindered, and after a while was born!
