Android Auto now remembers where you parked your car،

Have you ever found yourself in the all-too-familiar struggle of locating your parked car? Android Auto users, here's a warning: Google Maps has quietly introduced a handy feature to help you out.

According to 9to5Google, the latest iteration of Google Maps for Android Auto prompts users to save their parking location once they arrive at their destination. A simple “Save Parking Location” button appears on the navigation screen, ensuring you don’t find yourself wandering aimlessly through parking lots.

With the press of the button, your parking details are carefully stored in your Google account, along with a convenient reminder on your Android device the next day. The feature also takes into account your movements after arrival, capturing the precise location even if you spend time driving in circles to find a spot.

This feature is an expansion of the 2017 addition to Google Maps for Android and iOS, allowing users to save their parking location with just a few clicks. Android Auto seamlessly adopts this feature, making it accessible directly from your dashboard.

For those who prefer the traditional route, you can always save your parking spot via the Maps app. Simply tap the blue dot indicating your location and select “Save your parking”.

Google Maps recently underwent a visual overhaul, with some finding its new color scheme a bit confusing. This transformation has also made its way to Android Auto, ensuring a consistent experience. Google Maps was first introduced in 2005 and has since become the most popular and widely used navigation tool in the world.

Statistics reveal that more than 67% of smartphone users use Google Maps. Curious about the finalist? Well, Google does that too: it's Waze, the app Google acquired in 2013. Earlier this year, Waze made its way into all cars with Google built-in, allowing users to access Waze's real-time navigation without a smartphone.
