How many times have you driven your car to the supermarket? Better yet, a huge shopping mall? From the time you leave your house and enter your vehicle to the time you park it, you are filled with either excitement or determination, which usually leaves you in a good mood. You are either excited to shop, or determined to get the best gift for whatever occassion. Now have finished shopping, bags in hand, you look outside of the shopping mall automatic doors and you ask yourself "where the hell did I park"? You travel all around the parking lot, looking for landmarks and familiar signs of your previous existence, but you find none. During your search, your frustration builds enormously. Your bags begin to weigh a ton, and some of your bags start falling out of your hand. You reach down to pick up the bags, and your purse drops out of your hand, spilling out your money from your change purse, your id, your credit cards, and your keys. You pick up your keys and you think to click the "beep beep" button on your car remote and you realize (1) of two things... (1) "I knew I should have changed my car battery" or (2) "Dammit... I dont have one" ... Your frustration builds and you are stuck in huge parking lot filled with cars, with yours no where to be found. Down and out, looking at all of your bags and belongings on the floor, you whimper out a frustrating "Why Me?" ...
Well guess what, you dont have to ask yourself this question ANYMORE... With Android Market's "Car Locator" you can find your car in an instant. Car Locator uses GPS technology to successfully locate your car. Ok so when I first researched this, I thought to myself "ok so is this the part when they try to tell me to buy this high-tech tracking device that Batman uses in the cartoon?", but to my surprise it doesn't work like that at all. With the click of a button, just like a pic on facebook, you "tag" your cars position and you save it on a database, and it reads your exact distance from your car as you move. It utilizes the satellite and the global positioning system in your mobile device, allowing you to successfully track your car, and never have to be embarrassed, fed up, or frustrated again.
Not only does it help you find your car, it has a very user friendly interface. It is easy to navigate and provides a bunch of assistance to successfully help you find your car. A couple of other cool things about this app is that you can use a split screen function that allows you to see your position on the map as well as a picture of your vehicle or what ever spot you tagged on your GPS. It also has other functions asside from locating your car. It has a parking timer, which helps you keep track of your time at meters. This helps avoid trouble with the law, as well as making sure you dont over or under spend on a meter. You can also save the radar visualization as a live wallpaper on your phone so that you can keep track of your car from the home screen of your phone.
This is a great app to have for anyone with a car. Whether your a college student in a hoopty or a successful adult in a Benz, it happens to all of us. From the supermarket, to the mall parking lot, we can/have all fallen victim to the terros of parking lots. I would highly recommend this app to everyone. This app is $2.99 on the android market... Im actually about to buy it now, and you should too!
