Are you one of those people who tend to forget where you parked your car? Or the motorcycle, which is also often difficult to locate; as long as the phone is not used for the task: with WhatsApp it is very easy to locate the parking lot again. Even guide you there: your mobile will prevent you from looking for where you parked.
There’s no smartphone that it comes without GPS, it is also usual that it includes a map application. And, as one of the first applications to be installed almost necessarily, there are few phones that do not have WhatsApp. Instant messaging is its forte, but it’s not just for sending messages: it is also a great reminder book
Send location to your private chat
From WhatsApp it is very easy to attach the precise location of where your phone is. Therefore, it suffices that send this location as soon as you have parked your car: this way you will know where it is and you can go back just by clicking on the aforementioned message. Very easy.
You can send the location message to anyone, but maybe you don’t care that this contact knows where you are (or where your car stays). If you are going out as a couple, this will not bother you, on the contrary if you are traveling alone. To avoid privacy issues, we recommend that you open a conversation with yourself on WhatsApp to use this chat as if it were a mixed bag.
Waiting for WhatsApp to copy “saved messages” from Telegram (the standalone cat is a complete storage solution), let’s see how you can create your own conversation:
- The easiest way is to use another person as an accomplice. Notify this contact and open a group with them.
- Make sure temp orary messages are disabled. But your parking reminder may disappear
- Once you open the group, enter chat options and remove your friend. You already have a private WhatsApp group just for you.
- Another way to achieve the same effect is to create a new contact in your address book with your mobile number. WhatsApp will detect it as a user and you can chat with yourself like any other person.
Once you have your cat, we recommend giving it an appropriate name so you can recognize it. “Saved messages”, for example; or “Agenda”, “Waiting tasks”… Your choice. In the you can store everything you need: from your shopping list to a plane ticket; going through what we’re looking for, where you parked the car.
Your personal private chat is perfect for saving messages, reminders, lists, photos… and parking location
When you park the vehicle, remember to open your private chat, click on the clip to attach files then send your position (wait for the GPS of your mobile acquire the site with an accuracy of a few meters). When you want to get back to your car, open WhatsApp again, click on the location message and let Google Maps draw the route for you as you walk there. Easy.
A final recommendation is send you a photo of where the car is parked, especially if you were to leave it in a parking garage with no GPS coverage. This will save you the time of searching with the key in hand to find out which car turns on the lights when you press the button.
