Have you ever wondered where you parked your car, moped, bicycle or berthed your 70m runabout? Ever wandered around the Sydney Opera House car park, or Chicago's Marina City Towers car park, or in an unfamiliar suburb, or landed at the airport after an 18-hour flight and cannot remember where you left your chariot two weeks earlier? Do you need to remember where your hotel is before you wander the nearby streets? Well, this app's for you. It records the date and time, the longitude and latitude and address of where you left your car or where you are, as well as allowing you set the level and parking bay numbers. When it's time to find your transport or return to your hotel, open the app and you will see on a map both where you are and where you left your vehicle. The route will also be shown within the app using Apple Maps. Tap the Maps button to start the Maps app if desired. Alternatively, if you're thinking of taking a taxi and you have the Australian Taxi Fare app installed (available in iTunes App Store) you can tap a button and it will give you directions, tell you how far it is and, if in Australia, give an approximate cost for the taxi fare. Next time you need this app, tap the Reset button, wait for your current address to be displayed if you need it, set the levels if appropriate and tap Save. That's it. This Universal app is designed to run on iPhone and iPod Touch and also to take advantage of the iPad's screen size. Thank you to Michael Summers for kindly granting permission to use his photo for the basis of the app's icon (www.canonsnapper.com).

Scout is a bicycle alarm and finder, designed to seamlessly integrate into Apple’s FindMy network of products, allowing you to keep track of your beloved bikes whereabouts, even when you’re not riding. The lightweight, and low-profile SCOUT discretely and securely mounts to any water bottle cage using the security screws provided. Once armed (via the app or on the unit itself) any movement of a bike fitted with Scout will trigger the motion sensitive 85 db alarm alerting the owner. If a Scout fitted bike is not where the owner last left it, then they can simply locate its position using Apple’s FindMy network. The SCOUT is USB-C rechargeable and has a runtime of approximately 6 months with standard use. Riders can activate/deactivate the motion sensitive alarm, locate the device, and check the battery life, all through the Knog App. Scout is the future of bike security.
