A mobile device retrieves a location (e.g. Lot 5-2-3) of a parked vehicle using a database which associates a parking bay with a license plate of the vehicle parked inside it. The license plate is linked to the mobile device, and a route is generated between the mobile device’s current location to that of the parked vehicle. The database may comprise images of all parking bays within a facility, and any license plates that are currently occupying each bay, and may also associate a location with each bay. These images may be obtained using one or more imaging devices which may capture a video stream. The location of the parking bay may be presented as GPS coordinates or as a description of the parking bay number and section or level of the parking facility, as shown in the figure. The method may involve calculating parking durations and initiating payment.
