Step 2) Get out and do what you need to do
Step 3) Come back to the parking lot and ask Google “Ok Google, where is my car?”
Google automatically tracks the last stopped position of your car. If it detects your car has been stopped for an extended period of time, then Google will place a pin in that location. It’s really that simple.
The feature still has some minor bugs. If you ride public transit or get a ride from a friend, for example, then Google may have trouble differentiating those modes of transportation. Expect bugs to be ironed out in the next patch.
If you can’t get this feature to work, then make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of Google Search.
Whether you’re trying to find your car after a rough night at the bar or just stumbling through a mall parkade at Christmas time, this feature could save you a lot of headaches – best of all, you don’t need to do anything until you actually need to use it.
