A method of operating a navigation system includes obtaining a destination
location and identifying a parking facility proximate said destination
location. The method further includes providing historic parking
availability information for the identified parking facility. The
historic parking availability information is based on past parking
availability at the identified parking facility. The method may also
calculate a route from an origin to the parking facility and provide
guidance for following the route. Additionally, the method obtains a
reservation for parking at the parking facility.
