Locate Parked Car Using Google Maps

Saving the Location of your Parked Car in Google Maps is as simple as tapping on your current Parked Location and selecting “Set as Parking Location” option in the slide-up menu.

Once any place is set as Parking Location in Google Maps, it remains marked as your parking location for a period of 12 hours, after which the Parking Marker is automatically removed by Google Maps.

Google Maps also allows you to Share your parking location and download a Map of the area where your Car is parked for offline use.
