Birds will eat bread crumbs. Imagine seniors wandering around because they can't remember where they left their cell phone.

That’s exactly why Hansel and Gretel got lost!

Your phone needs to be connected to the car via Bluetooth or Car Play.

If it was purely GPS based then if you were driven by your neighbor your phone would show his car parked.

Here is the Apple link.

Find your parked car using Maps on iPhone - Apple Support

You misunderstood what I said. Bluetooth is OFF when you park your car so it can't help you find it by bluetooth. It is purely GPS based because without a GPS ON YOUR PHONE it wouldn't work. It has nothing to do with the GPS in your car only bluetooth that senses when you stop because it disconnects from the phone when you turn off the car (or cart). You don't even need Carplay because it works on my golf cart that has bluetooth but no GPS and no Carplay.

How the Parked Car feature works

You don't need Apple's CarPlay to get this feature: As long as your car has a Bluetooth stereo and you own an iPhone 6 or later, you should be able to use the Parked Car feature.
The feature works via Bluetooth Low-Energy pairing: When you turn off your car, it disconnects your iPhone from the car's Bluetooth connection. When that happens, your iPhone automatically makes a note of where the pairing disconnected and adds a Parked Car marker down in that spot.

When you park, your phone has to be connected to your car via Bluetooth. Once you turn off the car the phone obviously disconnects from it but the location is saved in Apple Maps.

Then, again, obviously the phones GPS chip shows the car location.

Your first sentence phrasing is misleading because Bluetooth must be ON when you park your car.

With my flip phone? I don’t know how

Does anyone use a good parking app?
Thanks

Just curious if you had trouble finding your car before moving to TV?

There are a lot of things that would make too much common sense. Malls post letters on their tall lamps in the parking lots. Another small thing that I am ticked about is that there are not enough curb cuts on several of the large strip malls off of Route 441 in The Villages. I am also waiting for just one police person to give a speeding ticket to the golf cart drivers where the supermarket malls due to speeding
