Google Now Card to tell where you Parked your Car

Google is constantly undergoing improvements and changes. A small change which was done proved to be a major improvement for almost all of us.You can use Google Now to find the approximate location of your parked car.Google is making it a bit easier to get back to your car when you’ve parked in an unfamiliar city, at the mall, a concert, or any other spot that poses a challenge for those with a poor sense of direction.

How do I enable this?

All you have to do is make sure “Driving” is set as your main mode of transportation.
  1. Open Google Now, scroll all the way down, and tap the Magic Wand icon.
  2. Go to Customize > Everything else > “How do you usually get around?”
  3. Choose Driving.



When the card shows up in Google Now, you’ll see an indicator showing the approximate location of your car. To see other locations where you’ve recently parked, touch Previous locations. Your location data for parking location cards isn’t shared with anyone else.

If I didn’t park, why do I see a parking location card?

Google uses your device’s sensors to know when you leave a moving vehicle, which means you may see parking location cards even if you didn’t park your car. For example, these cards could show up after you exit a bus or a friend’s car.

Choose when to see parking location cards

To customize parking location cards, follow these steps:
  1. When a parking location card shows up in Google Now, touch the  Menu icon on the card.
  2. Answer the questions to choose when to see the card.

Turn off parking location cards

To turn off parking location cards, follow these steps:
  1. When a parking location card shows up in Google Now, touch the  Menu icon on the card.
  2. Touch No when you’re asked if you want to keep receiving reminders about your parking location.
If you don’t drive often, you can turn off parking location cards by changing your transportation setting in Google Now. To change this setting, open the main Google Now screen, then touch  Customize > Everything else > How do you usually get around?
