Apple may be working on a way for Maps arrival estimates that account for parking as well as the walk to your destination, according to findings shared by code explorer pdfu. A new “TimeToPark” flag in the iOS 27.3 beta apparently allows the system to measure time spent near a destination before parking, plus walking time afterwards.
The measurements use background location and motion data, with results saved per trip and grouped by weekday and hour. However, pdfu says the feature can only be enabled on internal installations, and no Maps feature uses the data yet. In other words, watch this space – parking-aware ETAs could yet become a thing.
