Google Maps: Never Lose Your Car Again!
12 Dec
Summary
- Google Maps will automatically save your car's location.
- The feature works via USB, Bluetooth, or CarPlay connection.
- The parking location is saved for 48 hours and then deleted.

Finding your parked car is about to become much easier thanks to an upcoming feature in Google Maps. The application will now automatically detect and save the last known location of your vehicle for up to 48 hours. This new functionality is designed to alleviate the common stress of searching for your car, particularly in expansive parking lots.
The feature can be initiated by connecting your device to your car through USB, Bluetooth, or Apple CarPlay. Upon finishing your drive, Google Maps will place a pin at your car's location. This pin will remain visible for two days before being automatically removed once you begin driving again.
While the feature has been observed on iPhones, its availability on Android and Android Auto is still pending confirmation. This new automated tracking builds upon existing manual location-saving options and rivals similar functionalities found in applications like Apple Maps and Waze.
