Are you one of those people who constantly forget where you parked your car when you get to the crowded parking lot?
Now Google Maps can now help you find where you parked your car. And it is very simple.
Google Maps launched this feature as part of a Google Maps beta (and only on Android) in March 2017, and it is now live on Android and iOS.
To activate this feature on an Android phone, click on the blue button on your Google Maps screen, a menu of options is opened. Choose “Save your parking”. A label will appear showing you where you parked. Tap on that label to open up your parking card, where you can add additional details about your parking spot.
On iOS, the new experience is pretty similar. Tap on the blue dot and then tap on “Set as parking location” to add your parking spot to the map itself. Tap on the parking label on the map to open up your parking card and do things like share it with friends and view pictures of your parking area. This is in addition to the automatic parking detection you might have already noticed in Google Maps for iOS. If you connect to your car using USB audio or bluetooth, your parking spot will be automatically added to the map when you disconnect and exit the vehicle.
To get the new feature, just upgrade your Maps on Android or iOS to the latest version. The app is available here on Android and iOS.
In January 2017, Google Maps introduced a feature to help in parking
