More than a map pin

A map may take you back to the car park. My Parking Buddy helps you remember the exact floor, bay, lift, stairs, entrance or landmark.

📍

Save the location

Capture the parking position and correct it using search, your current location or the map.

📷

Add useful photos

Photograph the car, floor sign, lift, stairs, payment machine or nearby entrance.

P

Record the details

Save the floor or level, bay or zone, nearby landmark and notes you may need later.

Find your way back

See walking time and distance, then open walking directions to your saved location.

Park in seconds

Start with one clear action. Add as much or as little information as the parking situation needs.

1

Tap “I’ve parked”

The app records the current time and attempts to capture your location.

2

Add useful clues

Save a photo, level, bay, zone, landmark or note before you walk away.

3

Return with confidence

Check your saved details and open walking directions when it is time to go back.

Photos that help

Save the clues a map cannot show

A photograph of a lift, stairwell, floor sign, payment machine or ferry deck can be more useful than coordinates alone.

  • Choose one main parking photo.
  • Add extra photos of signs, tickets, exits or landmarks.
  • Open photos full screen and zoom in to read important details.
  • Type or dictate notes while the information is fresh.

When it is time to return

See where you are and where you parked

View the saved parking marker alongside your current position, check walking time and distance, and open Apple Maps for walking directions.

Track your parking time

Choose No Limit, a preset duration or a custom expiry time. The app shows how long you have been parked and, where a limit is set, how much time remains.

Useful again next time

Completed parking sessions remain searchable in History. Find a record by place, date, note, level, bay, zone or landmark, then use Park here again for a location you visit regularly.

A simple app for a real problem

My Parking Buddy was built because a map pin does not always tell you which floor, row, staircase, lift, deck, entrance or landmark you need. It is one of the simple tools created as part of Travel Tools & Tips.

I build the simple apps I wish already existed.
