Google Maps has just added a handy feature that will help users remember where they parked. This appears as a new menu option when you tap the blue dot, and will place a “P” icon on the map so you can find your way back to your spot. While remembering your parking location is something Apple Maps has done since the launch of iOS 10, Google’s implementation is a bit more robust.
With iOS 10, Apple Maps will mark the location of your car with a pin when you disconnect your iPhone from Bluetooth or CarPlay. You also can edit the location of the vehicle in the map and add a note or a photo through Apple’s Parked Location feature.
In the case that your phone is not connected via CarPlay or Bluetooth, you could use Apple’s Mark Location feature instead.
Google, meanwhile, had already introduced its own proactive parking saving feature via Google Now , but it had worked by tapping into your phone’s sensors and making a determination that you had most likely parked at a given spot.
