Where do you find a good location device for a parked car?

First off...I used to live in Merced California...now live in Salem Oregon and my parents are back in Dayton Ohio. Jeez, I tied into everyone. I never found a car locator besides the actual car alarm that was reliable. There are apps for your cell phone that do pretty good if your parents have a smartphone. I dept losing my car until I discovered parking in same row whenever possible. If I can't park in favorite row I write down, on my hand, where the freaking car is.

Could you use a handheld GPS and save the location when you park the car?

Aren't these automatic car openers? I don't know if earlier models have keyless remote entry, but I would check with the dealer for one.

Hi Dillie,
Seriously-I lived in California for a year. In Watsonville. Near Gilroy and Monteray. So it really is a small world!! I am not such a good Califonian though-the earth quakes and the bugs!!

Good luck with your Mom. I am 4 and 1/2 hours away by car to my Mom and Dad you are about that by plane, no? have a safe trip and take care!!

Hi Mishka, It's a small world! I love this site and all the good suggestions people make. My Mother is in Ohio and I'm in Calif. so watching after her get a little challenging. She's still in her own house, but I think she is realizing that can't go on too much longer. I plan to go back there in a couple of weeks to make whatever plans are necessary.
Take care of yourself and SMILE!

Hi Dillie,
I see you are in Belpre Ohio!! I did my student teaching there!!! Back in 1993.

Anyway- sorry I don't know of the device you are talking about. I just got excited to see Belpre! You could try a google search. If you have a cell phone you could take a picture of your car where you parked.
I lose my car a lot! One time I lost it at King's Island the Amusment Park during a horrible storm and I had my friend's young daughter with me ( just us 2) and the wind was so bad and we were so lost the poor girl looked at me and said "I don't want to die". I grabbed a cop then and told him we needed help and he drove us around until we found our car!! It can really panic you!!
