If you have a recent smart phone you can use the GPS to mark the

If you have GPS on so you don't have to wait 5 mins until it has
worked out where it is.

If you have quickfix enabled they take a few seconds even from cold.


Not accurate down to the car. You need the photo too.

It ought to get you within beeper range though. Old car was about 20
yds, new car is nearer 50.

GPS tends to be accurate to about 5m or less these days.
They usually have at least 12 channel receivers so they can get good
accuracy if they can see enough sky.


Very handy to get to roughly where the car is and start looking at
individual cars tho.

Looking at cars when it's a hire car that you can't remember anything
about other than if being "a car" doesn't help. B-)

You don't get much choice of car in a 5m radius

But you don’t get that in the underground
carparks or the big multistory carparks either.

and the key probably helps.

A photo including the plate works much better.
