It is quite common when we go to a neighborhood, a shopping center or a hypermarket that we do not know and in the end we can get lost because we do not know where we have parked the car . Although in Spain there are Bluetooth search engines such as Apple Airtags, Samsung Galaxy SmarTag or Tile that can be used for this task; the truth is that there is a trick for the mobile that allows to know the exact location of the vehicle.
To carry out this trick, it is enough to have the Google Maps application installed on Android or iPhone, or Maps for iOS, since thanks to its functions you can know where the car is at all times. In this way, this uncomfortable situation that was so common before the coronavirus pandemic ends forever.
This type of application usually incorporates new features that make users' lives easier, as well as collect information. For example, Google Maps has a feature that allows you to save where your car has been parked. There is even the option of using Google's own assistant for this task. But how do you do it?
Apple Maps
If you have an iPhone there are two ways to find out where your car has been parked. The first of these is using Apple's own Maps application and connecting the company's mobile with the bitten apple to the vehicle via Bluetooth or CarPlay.

In this way, when arriving at the destination and disconnecting the iPhone, the app itself automatically places a parked car marker so that the user can easily find their car at any time.

To do this, all you have to do is open the Maps application, click on the search field and select 'Parked car' from the list of suggestions. In case this option does not appear, it can be written directly in the search box. When you click on it, the app shows the exact place where the car is.
Google Maps
Google Maps has a function that allows you to save the location where you park your car, available for both Android and iOS. The process is extremely simple, since all you have to do is open the application, touch the location on the map and select "Set location as parking" from the menu.

Once done, the application itself will save that location with a blue 'P' on the map for 24 hours; although there is always the possibility of eliminating it before the deadline expires. In the case of iOS, Google Maps can also automatically detect and mark parking when the iPhone is disconnected from the car's Bluetooth.
On the other hand, it should be noted that by clicking on the blue 'P' point, the maps app allows you to navigate to that location, see the place thanks to Street View or share parking, the latter being ideal for telling a friend or relative where the car has been left. In addition, in Android you can also add notes and the duration of the parking meter.
The Google Assistant
Finally, there is also the possibility of using your voice and asking the Google Assistant to remember where you left the car. However, this process is slightly different whether it is done on an Android device or an iPhone. On mobiles with the Google operating system, you have to go to the 'Settings' of the phone and tap on 'Location' to activate it.

Once done, holding down the home button or saying the magic words "Ok Google" is enough to notify the assistant where you have parked: "I parked here", "Remember where I parked" or "I have the car in ...", among other phrases. Then all that remains is to ask where the car has been left and, if the location is activated, the mobile will show a map highlighting the location of the vehicle.
For iPhone, the process is similar. The first thing to do is open the 'Settings' application, tap on 'Privacy' and then 'Location services' to activate them. After that, you have to open the Google assistant application, which you have to download previously, and say "Ok Google" to notify where the car has been left.
Finally, to find out where the vehicle is, you just have to reopen the Google assistant application and ask it where it has been parked. As in Android, and as long as location is turned on, the iPhone will display a map highlighting the location of the car park.
