WWL Mardi Gras Parade Tracker

This app does exactly what it’s supposed to. It gives your location and where the beginning of the parade is. My only request would be for how many floats each parade has. I have not found that feature in the app. It would be super useful to know when you’re running late if you’ll be able to catch some of it or go to another spot on the route to catch it.

It’s about time somebody got a live tracker for the END of the parade. > When attempting to time the pick-up so you’re can be there right before the end of the parade, so the kids aren’t standing on the crowded street waiting. Only knowing where the beginning of the parade is useless when picking people up.

I will continue to be annoyed by not having a tracker at the end of the parades downtown. The tracker is good, but if the parade broke down or the tracker has passed, then this whole thing is useless. Buy a few of those GPS Tiles and stick it on the back of the fire trucks instead of using another tracker car. Let’s complain to the competition to see who can provide this feature first 🙄

This app has improved in the past year or so. It used to use so much data that it didn’t work in a crowded area. That problem has largely been solved. My one criticism- The route for Endymion has not been updated. It says that it’s ending at the Convention Center, but the map shows it ending at the Superdome.

This app is SO useful!! Handy for checking traffic and getting to work. It lets me know when to leave the house so I don't have to stand in the rain and cold. This is my sixth year to use it and it's as much a part of my Mardi Gras as Popeyes, gumbo, and beer!!
