4. Car Finder Plus: We all can say that we’ve forgotten where we parked our cars at times, maybe even pressed the “panic” button and followed the sound of an alarm to find it. Panic no more- Car Finder Plus remembers your car’s location on a detailed map and even keeps track of which level you parked on so you don’t have to. When you are ready to find your car, just open the app and it’ll show you a Google Map of where you are and where your car is.
