Google Maps Adds New Feature To Remind Where The Car Was Parked

Google Maps car parking feature

In the newest update of Google Maps released this week, the company has included a feature to mark your parking area and share it with friends, ideally ending the “Was it P2 or P3?” argument at last.

If you open the app and tap the blue location dot, you will find a new option to “Set as parking location” (iOS) or “Save your parking” (Android). As soon as that’s selected, you’ll see the classic little “P” icon appear on the map, and tapping on that brings a host of new options. You can set the garage level, make a custom note share the place with anyone, and even set a timer so you’ll beat the parking police back to your vehicle.

Google already provides an automatic parking detection feature, which uses the Bluetooth connection to your vehicle to determine when and where you have actually parked and adds a small icon to the map. But this new full-featured addition is intended to help everybody out.
