Huge parking lot, and every car looks the same? Let Google Maps remember where you parked.
Save Your Parking
After you park, open Google Maps, tap the blue dot (that’s you) and tap Save your parking. A P marks the spot.
Add a Note or Photo
Tap the P, then More info. Add a note like “Level 3, row C,” a photo of the sign, or share it so the family can find the car.
Find Your Car
Tap the search bar, tap Parking location, then Directions. It stays saved until you clear it.
Bonus Tip: Offline Maps
Tap your profile picture › Offline maps › Select your own map › Download. Driving directions work with no signal.
