In many countries - especially in europe - you will find a special character combination on a license plate that tells you where a car is coming from or gives other informations about the car.

LicensePlate comes with car license plate shortcuts of several countries, from which you can choose very fast and intuitive (see country list below). It shows informations about the region where a car is registered and links to the maps application, so that you can see on the map where the car is coming from and use the maps application to let it show you the way to that specific location. A global full text search or simple search for plate keys is another part of LicensePlate. Once you've spotted a plate you can mark it and build up your collection of plates you've seen on the street.

This application is ideal for longer road trips. Be sure to have an answer when your kids play a License Plate quiz again... and hey, i like that Pub quiz idea...!

The app recognizes license plate formats from over 30 countries. A brief note about each country helps you identify the correct letter and number combination on the license plates. A direct link to a map is available for each region found, along with a wealth of additional information. For some countries whose license plates are not tied to a specific location, the app provides basic information based on the license plate format. In addition to simply listing the registration locations, the program also offers information on various special license plates.
