Hi everyone, most of us have the habit of forgetting something particular all the time. I always end up forgetting my car at the parking lot. I am somewhat not comfortable in saying this, but yes, there have been many instances like this with me and I can't help myself out. I do remember to carry my iPhone with me but am helpless on the issue of my car. There might be someone like me who can answer my problems as to what do they do or would hope some good suggestions from you people so that I can be comfortable when finding my car in the lot.
Thanks in advance! |

I stand at the entrance to the car park and press a button on the key fob which causes the hazard lights to flash on my Citroen car. It is relatively easy to find it (always provided I am on the right floor)! Isn't science wonderful?

You've got the answer already - the iPhone!
Take pictures of the key pointers to where you've parked and refer to these when you come back. ------------------------- irevans |

Seriously. I think using the phone's camera to capture one or more views of the car and background as a guide to its location could be the solution.

Write yourself a note of the cars location in the car park.
Many of them even have signs and markers to help in exactly these circumstances. If there's no sort of jotter app for your iPhone, there's a wonderful piece of zero-power eco-technology that allows you to make marks on a flexible 2D surface using a smart chemical called ink.
