How to use Apple Maps to find car parking

This feature, called Parked Car, requires your iPhone to be connected to your car via Bluetooth or CarPlay, so that’s unfortunate if you own an older car and don’t have iPhone Bluetooth connectivity. . This feature is very useful especially in places with large parking lots that you don’t go to often like amusement parks, airports, etc. Finding a car can be a difficult thing but it will become easy for iPhone users.

How Parked Car Works in Apple Maps

You would think that the Parked Car feature in Apple Maps relies on some crazy tricks to make it work, but it’s actually pretty simple and requires only one of two things: getting your iPhone paired with car via Bluetooth or connect to CarPlay using a wired or wireless connection.

As soon as you turn off your car and disconnect from Bluetooth or CarPlay, your iPhone immediately pings the stop location and stores that data on your handset until you restart the car. /.
