The App Store contains more than enough GPS-enabled vehicle locating apps, but Intridea’s new Car Finder iPhone app utilizes augmented reality to help you remember where your vehicle is parked, which makes finding it a more entertaining experience. Car Finder is extremely easy to use. Just launch the app and tap the button located at the bottom of the screen to mark your current position.

The app uses a GPS signal to pinpoint your location, so make sure your signal strength is at least decent. If it isn’t, the app will inform you of this and you can check to see just how accurate your location is in meters in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

When you mark your position, you can give it a name and add info to help you remember the general vicinity of where you are parked, but it isn’t required. After you are all set up, just walk away and go do your deeds. When it’s time to locate your vehicle again, launch the app and the augmented reality overlay will have a red arrow pointing in the direction of your car. If the car icon isn’t in view, just turn and follow the arrow until it is. Car Finder will show you the distance to your parking spot in real-time.

Car Finder’s accuracy depends heavily on your GPS signal, so use with caution. The iPhone 3GS is the only device supported by Car Finder since it requires GPS and a compass to do all of the tracking. Car Finder is available in the App Store for $.99.
