Have you ever parked your car and forgot where you parked it, and spend the next 10-20 minutes trying locate it? This happens to everybody (some more than others) at one time or another – we are always in a rush to get somewhere that we hurriedly drive to a location, quickly look for a parking spot, grab it, and off we go to our final destination. We finish our business, come out to go back to our car and it’s like, ‘where in the heck did I park that darn car?’ We were in such a rush to get to that store, we did not pay attention to where we parked the car.
This is where a Car Locator App can come in real handy, as long as you remember to save your car’s location before you leave the vehicle. They all work about the same by utilizing your GPS – some are very simple and free, but get the job done and others are more sophisticated and may even cost a couple of bucks. However, if used correctly, you will never have trouble locating your vehicle again. We chose ten out of the very many that are offered, so take a look and see if this type of App could be helpful for you.
We also threw in a few Apps to help you find a spot to park so you can use the location App to find your car. Some will even allow you to reserve a spot – these are great if they work in your city.

MyCar Locator Free CollageMy Car Locator this is the free version versus the $1.29 version, which I can only assume just does away with any ads, as no other differences are noted. It uses your GPS to remember where you parked your vehicle and with the push of one button, it will guide you back. Arrows point you in the proper direction, remembers how long you have been parked, and provides walking directions back to your car. Works best outside, as it is highly unlikely to receive a GPS signal in a parking garage, especially under ground.
