What are parked car alerts?

Parked car alerts in Apple Maps automatically note down your car’s location when you park, notifying you when you walk away. This is useful in big parking areas or if you tend to forget where you parked.

For using this feature, ensure you have an iPhone or iPad with iOS 10 or later. With “Show Parked Location” turned on, your device links with Bluetooth or CarPlay to sense when you switch off the car engine, asking if you wish to save the car’s location once parked.

• Scroll down a little and tap on “Maps.”

To enable the parked location, Go to Settings > tap on Maps > then toggle on “Show Parked Location“.
