If you’re like most people, you park in a lot of places. But if you’re a driver, it’s important to remember where you parked so that you can get back to your car quickly. And if you’re a cyclist, it’s even more important to remember where you parked so that you can get back on your bike quickly. Fortunately, there’s a Google Assistant app for cars and bikes that can help with both of these tasks. To use the app, just open it and type in “parking.” The app will give you a list of nearby parking garages and lots. You can also see the current time and location of your car or bike. If all of this information is too complicated for you or if you don’t have a Google account, there are other ways to remember where you parked. For example, many cities have parking meters that print out your parking space number. You can also look up the location of your last parking spot on Google Maps or ask your friends for their advice.
There’s nothing quite like the frustration of forgetting where you parked. Fortunately, if you have an iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone with the Google Assistant installed, you can quickly find your vehicle!
You can tell how common this problem is by the multitude of solutions available. The best is the one that requires very little effort. As long as you have Google Assistant on your Android device, iPhone, or iPad, and you have it with you when you park, this method will work.
Google Assistant for Android
The first thing you have to do on your Android device is make sure Google Assistant can access your location. On your phone or tablet, swipe down from the top (once or twice, depending on the model), and then tap the Gear icon to open the Settings menu.
Next, tap “Location.”
Make sure “Use Location” is toggled-On.
Once that’s out of the way, you can now use the parking feature. The first thing you have to do is open Google Assistant in one of the following ways:
Say, “Okay, Google” or “Hey, Google. ” On newer devices running Android 10 and up, swipe in from the bottom-left or -right corner.
When Google Assistant is open and listening, you can say one of the following commands:
“I parked here. ” “Remember where I parked. ”
Google Assistant will remember your parking location and mark it on a map.
Later, to return to your car, open Google Assistant again and say one of the following commands:
“Where’s my car?” “Where did I park?” “Find my car’s location. ”
A map will appear, showing you where your car is parked. Tap the map to open it in Google Maps and navigate to your parking spot.
Google will save your parking location for 24 hours. If you want to remove it sooner, just say, “Forget where I parked,” to Google Assistant.
Google Assistant for iPhone and iPad
Before you can use Google Assistant on your iPhone or iPad, you have to make sure “Location Services” is enabled. On your device, tap “Settings.”
Go to Privacy > Location Services.
Make sure “Location Services” is toggled-On.
Next, open the Google “Assistant” app.
From there, say, “Okay, Google” or tap the Microphone icon. When Google Assistant is listening, you can say one of the following commands:
“I parked here. ” “Remember where I parked. ”
Google Assistant will save your parking location on a map.
When you’re ready to return to your vehicle, open the “Google Assistant” again. Then, say any of the following commands:
“Where’s my car?” “Where did I park?” “Find my car’s location”
A map will appear showing you where your car is parked; tap it to open it in Apple Maps and navigate to your parking spot.
Google saves your parking location for 24 hours. If you want to remove it sooner, just say, “Forget where I parked,” to Google Assistant.
