How many times did you forget where you parked your car? This application solves the problem: with only one tap save your current position and next time you start the app you'll have walking directions to your car in front of you! What if you parked in a garage or lot? You can use this app as a compass: we display the distance and the map will tell you the direction. Browse or pinch to zoom in/out. Everything is within one tap, it is simple, accurate, and, most importantly, free (unlike our competitors)!
Why use Take Me To My Car and not the Maps built in functionality: - Less taps, much quicker - Walking directions instead of driving directions - Exact display of remaining distance - Exact position accuracy in meters/yards as opposed to a circle - Pleasant intuitive interface
READ THIS: The application works best on 3G iPhone. For best results, make sure to have Location services and WiFi on (to enable WPS). The app may not work on non-3G iPhone since it does not support GPS. For the same reason, iPod Touch is not a supported platform. 2008 Eldar Sadikov

Worked in Paris! Thought I'd chime in with a manner in how to use this application other than just finding your car. We used this in Paris last week. When we left the Metro/Bus stops I tapped "Park Here" and marked our location. We proceeded to visit museums, bistros, shops, etc., and then clicked the flag to find our way back to the Metro/Bus stop. This application is very useful in such a situation when you need to trace your steps back to a starting point after walking around for several hours and can't read signs written in the local language.

Works but there's an easier way... The app works great but another way is to just go into your GPS, press drop pin, and that's all. Saves your phone some memory.

Very useful but needs opportunity for inserting a small description of parking spot The program is very useful. But I would like to suggest a simple (I think) but very useful alteration. That is an opportunity to insert a short note/description of your of your parking space when in a parking lot. The note might be, A6, or level 3 near stairs. Thanks for the program. - Take Me To My Car review by Ivan3
The most practical of all apps in App Store I'm so glad someone finally had thought of such an app; it has been a long time coming, real talk. It is an easy and quick way to save a lot of valuable time during the day. I live in South End and work in Back Bay in Boston and anyone who has been to the city knows how easy it is to forget where you left your car in the streets lined with uniform brownstones and spend hours roaming about endless blocks of red brick rowhouses, desperately trying to recall where you parked earlier that day, rushing to get a cup of coffee before your first conference call in the morning with London or Hong Kong. I'm very happy with the functionality, big props to the developer. There are occasional hickups with the accuracy, but, based on my personal experience to date using the application, I would encourage the users to be patient and write down those mistakes as the growing pains of the iPhone and GPS in general. I have noticed creator's comment about the forthcoming update; I'm quite curious to check it out. - Take Me To My Car review by Tatar King
Fast, easy, free. Nice app. Update your location. Find your car. Super! I thought maybe it could do more then I was like 'but why'? Would be nice to set an alarm to remind me to feed the meter. :) - Take Me To My Car review by ayman
Great program for free! I went to a MLB game the other day and had to park about a mile from the stadium. This program helped me get to my car with no problem!
I don't understand all the negative reviews. This is free and it does what it claims. - Take Me To My Car review by Directionally Challenged
Fun and practical I like following the flag back to my car. It usually works well to help me when I have parked along a street A few times I have forgotten to set the location of my car and wished I had as I roamed the parking lot. It has a good interface. Keep up the good work - Take Me To My Car review by daddo155
Works Well and It's Free . . . What More Could One Ask For ? ? ? I have used it in numerous cities as I travel often. I am traveling overseas . . . will be interesting to see how accurate it is and if the program will work. - Take Me To My Car review by Caymindiver
Stop complaining! It does what it promises and very well. I don't understand all the negative criticism. Inaccuracies are not the developer's fault, you can verify it in the Maps! iPhone is not a perfect positioning device, so stop saying "it's inaccurate" or "it does not work". I use the app everyday myself and it works perfectly for me. Very rarely, I may not get a good signal and get a poor accuracy but it's not the app's problem but rather a sign of the device's limitations! So all in all, thumbs up, stop complaining. I have not found a single bug yet and on top of everything, it's free. So please stop whining! - Take Me To My Car review by appverse
A Must-Have for Everyone Intially i had problems about it accuracry and put up a negative review. NOW that ive tested it extensively i cannot belive how accurate it is. A Must-have download for people living in cities or vacationing. Used it during my vacation in orlando where id never been before. I would park wherever i found a spot and just causally walk away after tagging it. The application always bought me back to the exact same spot. Saved me a lotta headaches. Thank a ton mate. - Take Me To My Car review by AD_KASH

This app makes looking for your vehicle fun rather than stressful cz u forgot ur parking spot and what not... - Take Me To My Car review by PrkngGrl
Take me to my campsite Used this app this past weekend while camping to ensure we got back to our campsite. We were in the mountains with limited edge signal but were able to use it to find our way home. Not sure if I would use it for much more than that. A directional arrow would be nice. - Take Me To My Car review by jergiffo
Grrr It freezes all the time & kept tellingme I was in NYC when I was in new jersey!!! Not far from each other but about 5 miles away!! What a waste! - Take Me To My Car review by VTLO
Won't load! Great idea but everytime I launch the app it never makes it past the black loading screen. After waiting 5 minutes I reinstalled and had the same result. - Take Me To My Car review by Payneresistor
Good idea, but crashes frequently I'd love to be able to use this but it kept crashing. I'll keep an eye for a new version, but as of now it's useless. - Take Me To My Car review by Gixxed
Too slow Tried to use it. It took way too long to put pin down for car. Took like 3 minutes. Then after 4 minutes of it trying to calculate a route I was already at my car. - Take Me To My Car review by JadeY34
Works well but I have one suggestion The purpose of this app is to help you remember where you actually parked your car (as opposed to helping you remember where the iphone GPS thinks you parked your car). Thus, it would be helpful if you could add the capability to adjust the location of the "red flag" before you you push "park here". This would eliminate the frequently reported problem where you can see that you are actually parked near the corner of 5th and Main (based on the street sign that you are standing next to) but the "red flag" believes that you are standing at the corner of 6th and Abel. - Take Me To My Car review by C.S. MacFinney
Truth be Told This is a cool idea for an App. The problem is, people don't like admit to making mistakes (so the ratings will be harsh). This App would be quite helpful if you go to a large amusement park, an airport you've never been to, an airport you have been to...etc. ^_^ - Take Me To My Car review by Brian College Student
soooooo good this is a must have for when you are in the city or if you go visit the city, park in a parking garage for the day, mark your location, chea its great. - Take Me To My Car review by baEagle
