    What were you thinking?
    I can come up with 3 idea's...

    • use a handheld GPS unit and mark a waypoint when you park the car then take the unit with you
    • Bluetooth car key
    • check number on parking lot

    That's way too low-tech though. As a bare minimum you should at least:
    • use camera phone to take picture(s) of where car is
    Love dance, will travel

    I was thinking that if you had long range bluetooth in your phone, and you could get a long-range bluetooth GPS receiver, then if you couldn't find your car you could get a (5-10m accurate) location fix from the GPS (which you would leave in the car) as long as you were within about 100m, and your phone could overlay that onto a map. Probably just about on the limit, since if you were close enough to guarantee a BT connection you'd probably be able to see the car. The long range version of the idea has a GSM modem built in that can transmit its location, but then you have to have an extra mobile subscription for it.

    All sounds far too complicated. Thank goodness it's quicker to walk than drive to my local Tescos.

    If I go somewhere else where I have to take the car, perhaps I'll just remember where I parked...

    Re: Rep re-set?

    Isn't it enough that when you use the remote control to turn off the alarm & open the central locking that your car will chirp at you and maybe flash its lights?

    If you don't have a remote alarm system, well I'd suggest that it'd be cheaper to fit one than to go down any of the routes outlined by the others above...

    No one ever suggested that price was the primary selection criterion. Where's your sense of fun gone!?

    Nope, "I lost my fun in Tesco's car park" just doesn't have quite the same ring as "I left my heart in San Francisco", but thanks for playing...

    It's true. And women keep stealing my heart away.

    Perhaps I do need a GPS tracker in my heart after all.

    I was just looking through an old photo album, and I came across this picture of Ducasi with his new avatar, so I thought I should share....
