# Parking detection

**Parking detection** defines when a vehicle counts as **parked** versus **in a trip**, the basis for trips, stops, and parking in reports. It identifies when an object has been stationary long enough, below a speed threshold, optionally confirmed by ignition or a motion sensor.

## Settings

* **Minimum idle time**: How long an object must remain stationary before it's considered parked. Range 1–1440 minutes, default 5.
* **Idle speed threshold**: The speed under which the object must stay to be detected as parked. Range 0–200 km/h, default 3.
* **Use ignition**: Confirm parking using the ignition state. Appears only if an **ignition sensor** is configured.
* **Use motion sensor**: Confirm parking using the motion sensor. Appears only on devices with a **motion sensor**.

A **Reset to defaults** button restores the default values.

## How conditions combine

* By speed and time: parking is detected when speed drops below the threshold and stays there longer than the minimum idle time. Stops shorter than the minimum idle time don't interrupt the trip.
* Considering ignition: the trip starts when speed ≥ threshold and ignition is on. The trip ends when speed drops below threshold and either the idle time is exceeded or ignition is off.
* Considering motion sensor: the trip starts when speed ≥ threshold and the motion sensor detects movement. The trip ends when speed drops below threshold or motion stops, and the idle time is exceeded.
* Considering both: ignition takes precedence over the motion sensor.

## Availability

Available on all devices except a few models that don't support parking detection.

## Limitations

* The **Use ignition** and **Use motion sensor** options only appear when the corresponding sensor exists on the device.
* Tuning idle time and speed threshold to the vehicle's real behavior minimizes false detections and improves trip accuracy.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/devices-and-settings/location-and-movement/parking-detection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
