Never lose your car in a crowded parking lot again. This new shortcut provides a simple, manual way to mark your car's location and get walking directions back to it later. It's a perfect solution for when automatic detection isn't available or when you just want a quick, reliable way to save your spot.

The new Mark Parking Spot shortcut offers a straightforward menu-driven interface to save and retrieve your car's location. When you run the shortcut, you can choose to either Log Parking Spot, which captures your current GPS coordinates, or Retrieve Parking, which opens Apple Maps with walking directions to your saved spot. This feature utilizes native iOS actions, ensuring seamless integration without needing third-party apps.
For even quicker access, add the shortcut to your Home Screen or Control Center. You can also create a personal automation that triggers the Set Parked Car action whenever your iPhone disconnects from your car's CarPlay or Bluetooth. This makes the process fully automatic. Alternatively, simply ask Siri, "Where did I park my car?" to retrieve the location and get directions.
The Mark Parking Spot shortcut is a powerful yet simple tool that eliminates the stress of finding your car. Whether you prefer a manual trigger or want to set up a fully automated workflow, this feature provides a flexible and reliable way to save your location and get back to your vehicle with ease.
