Description
With the Popular Mechanics Auto Locator, no longer will you struggle to recall where you parked your car.
After pairing the Smart Charger to the Auto Locator app, you can simply exit the app and continue on your way. When you arrive at your destination and turn off your car, the Auto Locator app will automatically record the location. There is no further setup required and the app will detect the next time you are driving and automatically record the location when you turn off the car.
The app will also give you an option to set a parking meter reminder to alert you when the time on your meter is soon running out.
Please note that in order for this app to work properly, your device's Bluetooth and Location services must be enabled, and the app must be granted permission to access your location. If you close the app using the multitask screen, it will disable the location recording and will not function properly.
***The Popular Mechanics Auto Locator app requires the use of the PMAC101 Smart Car Charger, sold separately.***

Ratings and Reviews
Fingers Crossedo
So I bought this locator bc it’s one of the cheapest location devices I have found. So if it’s not what I need then I didn’t go broke buying it, and if my vehicle happens to get repo’d I’m not out anything more then R$10!
Recently I’ve hit a sting of bad luck and I have fallen behind on my car payment, and it was added to there repo list So I’ve not been parking it at home. And 3 to 4 times a day I will walk and make sure it’s still there! As long as it does what it says then thing will be great!!
Will Actually Recommend Another App
I used to use ParkIt app and like that app. I saw this and I bought the gps locator and got the app thinking, cool its like ParkIt but more convenient... WRONG!
Get ParkIt instead, don’t buy the “gps locator” for this
@ developers
Here’s why your app/product is terrible
So you require:
- A physical product
-App must stay open
-Running in background (why both?)
-Bluetooth
- Track my location ALWAYS
- and ? (The ?= whatever reason it doesn’t show my car, I’m ALWAYS “within 0 feet”)
@ developers download ParkIt and take notes. Because:
-No physical product required
- I can open the app months later and see where I parked when I last used it
-Doesn’t run in background
-No Bluetooth obviously
-Track my location WHILE USING APP
-And I’ve actually got it to work without any issue
-Also it’s FREE
So use the money I spent on your chunk of plastic to make an app that works, so I can have what I paid for.
Seems to work fine
I was ready to pan the app until I went back and checked my settings. My internet was turned off so I turned it on and tried again, and it worked as advertised. The developer in fact mentioned the internet needed to be turned on and it’s in the help files.
