Car Locator App
Cool Factor: Developer
Edward Kim created this app for Android to help users locate their car, but it
can also be used to pinpoint or mark locations during disasters to help keep
family members together.
Setting Car Locator to remember your car's spot is easy.
When you park your car, just open the app (or use the handy widget straight from
your home screen). You'll see your current location on Google Maps, along with a
cool-looking radar display that signifies your car with a red dot. Just
double-tap the location of your car on the map (or simply shake your phone) and
Car Locator will remember where it is. When
you want to find your car again, just open the app and follow the cues. Choose
between a map screen, which shows your progress on Google Maps as you get closer
to your car, or a radar screen, which puts your car's location in a simple
visual graph to help you orient as you get closer. Along with the visual help,
Car Locator features a "sonar" function that emits a beeping sound:
The closer you get to your car, the faster it beeps.
