App Description
» Never Forget Where You Parked Again! «
Find My Car is fully automated, remembers where you parked, and guides you back to you vehicle using intuitive augmented reality navigation.
We know the frustration of pacing around a parking lot or garage after a busy sports game, coming back from a day at the theme park, leaving the airport after your flight, traveling between work meetings, or leaving a large university. Never waste your time and energy finding you car or remembering where you parked again.
Find My Car is different. We automatically know and remember where you parked. We do the hard work for you. No extra accessories needed, it is all right in the app! All this without your iPhone ever leaving your pocket or bag. Find Me remembers where you parked, even when you don’t.
• How Does It Work?
Find My Car's Automatic Parking* uses the newest motion tracking technology available in the latest iPhone models coupled with Location Services to track and record when and where you park. All this happens in the background as you go about your day. When you most need it, open Find My Car and see your parking history at your fingertips.
• Augmented Reality Navigation (with Compass and Floor Levels) **
In addition to the standard map and walking directions, Find My Car makes use of your iPhone’s camera to provide an intuitive eye’s forward navigation towards your vehicle using augmented reality technology. Once you’ve selected the parked location you want to navigate to, tap on ‘Find My Car’ to use this great feature. You’ll see your vehicle shown in the distance through the camera along with navigational aids to orient you and guide you back to your vehicle!
• Don't have an iPhone 5s, 6, or 6 Plus?
No problem! As long as you enable Location Services, saving your parked location is easy. Simply tap a button to manually add and save a new location, or reposition an existing location for improved accuracy.

• Usage Notes
* Automatic Parking requires a device with the latest Motion Coprocessor (currently iPhone 5S, 6, or 6 Plus)
* Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life
** Augmented Reality Compass may be uncalibrated due to magnetic interference and may require calibration
** Augmented Reality Floor Level determination dependent on good GPS reception for accurate altitude measurements
Find My Car is best used outdoors. Indoor garages and regions with poor coverage introduce interference and poor GPS reception which adversely affects parking location accuracy. In such case, Find My Car will (optionally) notify you when a parked location with poor accuracy was saved. You can choose to reposition the parked location to a more accurate location.
