Does not work

It hooked up one time. I have tried everything it will not connect to my car. I bought several for gifts. Waste of money and embarrassing.

Auto locator

It seems that the autolocator does not (sometimes) tag the last parking spot and when i try to locate my car the radar goes haywire does not point to the direction where i park the car, this app needs more update.

Wrong data on map

I bought this as its cheap. But the App quality is cheap and it doesn’t work.

If i try to navigate to my car, and pick google maps.
It is showing destination as “nan, nan” and navigating to a japanese restaurant instead of my car.

Waste of money

Not accurate whatsoever

Don’t buy it if you want to find your car in a parking lot!!! Sure if you need to remember what street you parked on it will do the trick .. the compass feature doesn’t work im 50+ feet away right now and it still says 0 feet.. this thing is basically just a 10$ usb charger
