Description:My first reaction to Take Me To My Car was overwhelmingly positive. I'm one of those people that can get lost in a grocery store, if you know what I mean. With that sort of sense of direction, an app of this sort could be exceedingly helpful! Unfortunately, Take Me To My Car didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. In concept, the app is wonderful. I love the incorporation of Maps to create walking directions.If you like this app, but want more functionality (ability to take notes, track parking time, set meter timeout, use hybrid maps, change parking spot by dragging marker, or ability to keep track of multiple locations), check out iCarPark.

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.What's new
- Blazingly fast loading time (2-3 seconds)
- Added turn-by-turn directions via Maps
- Maps style interface
The biggest issue I have with this app is its accuracy. If you are looking for something on foot, you would hope that the location would be fairly accurate. Instead, I seem to get accuracy ratings ranging anywhere from 600 feet (not so bad) to 2 miles. I'm sincerely hoping that most people looking for their cars already know where it is in a general, 2 mile radius sort of way.
Overall impression: 5/10
Value for your money: 10/10 - It's free!
