If you've ever walked out of an airport or shopping center and suddenly realized you have no earthly idea where you parked, the solution is probably already in your hand.
If you have an iPhone, the Maps app will show you exactly where your car is and how to get there. You must always have Location Services turned on. And, you have to drive a car with a bluetooth connection. To learn how to use this feature, search online for 'Apple Maps parking place.'
Alternatively, for iPhone or Android you can get the Google Maps app. Turn Location Services to Always and turn on Motion and Fitness. On Google Maps, turn on Know Where You Parked. Search online for 'Google Maps parking place' for more information.
Other apps for this include Find My Car Smarter, a free app for iPhone and Android. Anchor Pointer also works on both platforms and costs $1.99.
