Croatian Automobile
Club (HAK) has launched a "smart" phone application intended for foreign
tourists. The free application "Croatia Traffic Info" is available on
Androids in English, German, Italian and Croatian. The application gives
you quick access to useful information, such as road conditions, border
crossings and ferry ports, traffic forecast, viewing live images from
more than 150 cameras located on major roads in the country, urgent
service contacts, an overview of current fuel prices, etc. In case
foreign tourists need assistance on the road, they will be able to
simply and quickly reach HAK. Their location will be transferred to the
HAK contact center and thus quick and easy assistance will be provided
without the need of describing the location of the breakdown.
The application also provides the module "where is my car?" adapted for
parking in an unfamiliar environment. The navigation in the application
guides the owner of the vehicle towards available parking space. It also
provides an overview of 700 petrol stations of the largest oil
companies in Croatia, with prices and types of fuel, sorted by distance
from the user as a conventional map view, with the possibility of
navigation guidance. It contains
15 000 points of interest grouped into twenty tourist and consumer
categories. For the twenty public parking lots and garages, particularly
in coastal cities and islands, there is a live review of the number of
free parking space.
