Find My Car Smarter

Applications to find your own car may seem ridiculous and unnecessary at first glance – but those who have ever wandered in search of a car for parking, will appreciate them to the fullest. There are a lot of similar programs but most have one and the same drawback: to use them, you need to put a mark in the application at the time of parking. This reduces their meaning to nothing: after all, the mark can be placed on ordinary maps, the problem is that we often forget to do it!

In this sense Find My Car Smarter is advantageously different in that when parking keeps the location automatically. And the paid Pro version even remembers the path that you took from the last stop of the car.

If you have Find My Car Smarter, you do not need to remember anything at all: it automatically stores the location of the parked car and then syncs it via Bluetooth to your phone.

The version for iOS is free, and for working with third-party devices that use Bluetooth Smart technology, download the Pro version of the same application for $ 1.99.

Car Locator

Car Locator is an original and versatile application that was released and developed for mobile devices that work thanks to the Android system. This program performs its work on a fairly simple principle. All is that the program remembers a certain place, where a car is parked. After that, at some point in time, the application sends the user to the same position. It is possible to carry out two options: use Google Maps Map browser, and the second option uses the View radar. The choice of this or that way depends on the user’s desire.

Thus, it is fashionable to say that the implementation of a function depends on how it is more convenient for a person to use the application. But in the opinion of critics, it is more reasonable to apply maps in the city, and radars will be better used outside the city and in recreation areas, in forest thickets. In maps, the user’s position is shown in the form of a green sign, the black dash indicates which direction to move, and the location of the owner’s car is indicated by a point that is red.

In order to save your location, click on the corresponding button at the bottom. When a user approaches their car closer than sixteen meters, the application will notify the owner of the message.

Save Car Location

The application is focused on memorizing the place where you left your car or other vehicles. If you start the application after you park, the application will save this place automatically.

After the next program opening, the application will indicate to you the location that was saved and builds the route to it.

The convenient function of the program – synchronization with Apple Watch, which allows you to find your place of transport in a matter of seconds.

Being in the open area, the application performs the following functions:

1. Autosaves the parking space when the program is opened.
2. Saves the specified point using Apple Watch.

Apple Maps

Apple’s branded mapping application can solve the problem of finding a car in the parking lot. With the pre-installed on iPhone and iPad maps, you can save the location of the machine and easily find it using the compass mode.

To search for a car parked at a large supermarket, stadium or concert hall, you do not need to download a specialized application from the App Store – standard Apple cards will help you quickly and easily find your car among hundreds of others. Wherever a GPS signal is caught, you can store the position of the vehicle and subsequently detect it.

All you need to find your car is to start the Maps after parking, click the button to find your location, and press and hold your finger on the screen for a few seconds. A lilac pin appears that indicates the location of the car. When you want to return to your machine, you need to run the application again and look at the map.

When searching for a parked vehicle, the optional function of the Apple mapping application – the compass mode – will help. In this case, it is more convenient to work with the map if it is located in the same direction as you. Tap the location icons twice to turn on the compass mode. Now the map will indicate your current direction in real time and you will be able to find out which way you need to move in order to return to the car.

In the same way, you can find a car using Google Maps.

Google Maps

In the latest update of Google Maps, developers have added new features that will prove very useful for motorists. Now Google Maps is able to remember the exact location of your car. It works on both Android and iOS. True, the logic of the work is slightly different.

Users of phones based on Android, after stopping the car, should click on the blue icon – that is all, the program has remembered where your car is parked. In addition to its main task, this chip allows, for example, to set a reminder to pay parking space or take a photo of your car with a note on which floor it is parked.

But the iPhone owners do not even need to press anything. If the phone has been connected via USB or Bluetooth to the radio, after disconnecting Google Maps it will automatically remember this location. The rest of the features are similar to the Android version. The user can add notes, reminders, and photos to the saved location. Such a variety of parameters will really help to get rid of the problem with finding a car in the parking lot.
