A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for estimating parking likelihood in an area based on probe data points. A method may include: receiving probe data points associated with a plurality of vehicles; determining location data, heading data, and speed data from each probe data point; categorizing a probe data point as a driving probe data point in response to the heading data corresponding with heading data of a road proximate the location of the probe data point and the speed data of the probe data point being above a predefined value; categorizing a probe data point as a parking probe data point in response to the heading data failing to correspond with heading data of a road; determining a ratio of driving probe data points to parking probe data points; and providing an indication of parking locations in at least one region of a map in response to the parking likelihood for the locations satisfying a predetermined criteria.
