Top 5 parking apps

Finding your vehicle after a long and stressful day can be a real headache, especially if it's parked in a huge parking lot. Fortunately, there are several apps that can help you find your vehicle in a painless way. Here's a compilation of the best apps for locating your parked vehicle.

1. CAR LOCATOR

If you are looking for a simple and effective solution, the application for locating parked cars is made for you. It is called Car Locator. This app has great reviews on the internet, and we know why.

A parked car locator won't try to overwhelm you with a million things it's only half good for. It will help you find parked cars in time, and it excels at this task. The interface is very easy to use and clearly shows the function of fixing the location of the parked car. The application gains ease of use for its intended purpose.

Anyone can download Car Locator, easily lock their car and find it without any problems. The routes to the car are managed through a seamless integration with Google Maps, which is even better because Google's location service is second to none, we are all convinced.

The only negative point is that the application has to be paid for, but it's still cheap.

2. EASYPARK

EasyPark is also very easy to use, although it works a little differently than Parkify Car Locator. EasyPark works without you having to manually register your car's location. The app also integrates with the convenient Google Maps. EasyPark adds a layer of complexity over Parked Car Locator because it allows you to sync the app with your vehicle's Bluetooth device, then use that method to find your parked vehicle.

The good news is that even if your vehicle doesn't have a Bluetooth connection, you can still connect to EasyPark and set the location of your car. The method the app uses to register your vehicle is very user-friendly and easy to use, and you can even name and pay for parking, you just need to sync its credit card with the app. The app is responsive and the various menus are easy to navigate, making Parkify a great option if you have an Apple or even Android phone.

3. GOOGLE MAPS

You've probably heard a lot about it, but Google Maps is full of interesting and lesser known features. One of those features is the parking space recorder for your car. Once you register your vehicle and follow the instructions in Google Maps, everything works like clockwork.

One small drawback of Google Maps, however, is that saving your car's location is not so easy. In fact, just figuring out how to save your car's location is a bit complicated.

To save your parking spot in Google Maps, simply click on the blue dot that indicates your location. Once you've done that, a menu will appear with the option to save that location as a parking spot for your vehicle. Honestly, this could have been implemented a little better. The app doesn't indicate that it has this feature at all, so it's unlikely that you'd have noticed.

Regardless, once you've set up Google Maps to register your vehicle, following the instructions to get back in is a breeze. Given that Google has perfected the direction of its apps over the years, it's no surprise that the navigation side of the experience is top notch.

4. USE AR TO FIND A CAR

Find Your Car with AR (augmented reality) is a fun and easy to use iPhone application. Find your car using augmented reality. Try to change the process of finding a car by adding a little AR to the mix. Augmented reality is mostly a gimmick, but the overall experience of the app is fun and easy.

Once downloaded, you'll be able to save your vehicle's location and find it instantly through the user-friendly interface that uses AR to find your car. When you first open the app, it prompts you to register your vehicle's location with a sign that reads: I'm parking here! This is nice, especially since many other similar apps don't explicitly explain how to save your vehicle's location, which is incredible considering the nature of these apps.

Another nice feature is a little reminder to let you know when you are near a parked car. It's a small detail, but it's very useful. The other apps on this list won't tell you that you're right next to a parked car unless you bother to ask for directions, which is a waste of time if you do.

5. MAPS

Apple Maps is an excellent navigation tool with many interesting features. So it's not surprising that Apple would offer its navigation app the ability to record where a vehicle is parked. Similar to Google's approach, Apple has provided this feature very quietly, as long as you look for it. It's a shame that Apple chose to hide this feature, because Apple Maps provides excellent, easy-to-follow directions to find your parked car.

The native iPhone application offers a very interesting feature: it saves a picture of your parked car and its location. This feature is especially useful in crowded parking lots. Needless to say, once you save your car's location, it's easy to navigate the app and find your way back to the car.

Apple has apparently devoted most of its resources to its in-house navigation app, so many of the quirks and inconveniences you'd expect from a standalone app simply don't exist here. Apple Maps is a streamlined powerhouse that works perfectly. One minor gripe is that, like Google Maps, this feature was buried after the fact.

In the meantime, if you're an Apple fan, you need to use Apple CarPlay to get the most out of your driving.

FORGETTING WHERE YOUR CAR IS PARKED IS A THING OF THE PAST

By downloading one of the apps on this list, you'll never forget the location of your parked car again. Each of these apps is a solid option for getting you back to your car safely, and some of them offer a few extra features.

It doesn't really matter which one of these apps you choose, because they all work well, but downloading at least one is absolutely essential for your digital toolbox.

Most of these apps are well compatible with Apple Carplay, which will allow you to have a view right on your home screen.
