It's saved even if you close the app. Tap the pin anytime to see how long ago you parked. If you parked a few spaces off, use Move to drag the marker exactly where your car is. FIND YOUR CAR When it's time to leave, open the Parking tab. Tap Walk for walking directions back to your car, or Show Pin to jump the map to it. The route shrinks as you walk. When you're back at your car, tap Clear and you're ready for next time. BEAT THE METER Parked at a meter? On the Meter tab, enter how much time is left and see a live countdown.
