How to Find Nearby Parking Spots on Google Maps
Finding a parking spot on busy city streets can sometimes be a challenge. In such cases, Google Maps can help you locate nearby parking spots in a few simple steps. Let's see how.

How to Save Parking Location to Google Maps
After parking your car, you will need to save the parking location, which is relatively easy on Google Maps. This is what you will have to do.
Step 1: Open the Google Maps app on your phone.
Step 2: Tap the blue dot icon on the map that shows your current location. If you can't find it, tap your location option (crosshair icon) on the right.
Step 3: Select the Save Parking Map option that appears at the bottom.
That's all. Google Maps will save your current location as a parking location. Please note that you can only save one parking spot at a time. So if you continue to save another, Google Maps will overwrite your previous parking location.
How to change or share your parking location on Google Maps
If you move your car to another parking spot, you can still manually change your parking spot by following the steps below.
Step 1: In the Google Maps app, locate and tap your saved parking location.

You can also share your parking location with someone via WhatsApp, SMS, email and more.
If you use Google Maps on your phone Android, you can add notes that will help you find your car later. Additionally, you can also set a timer if you use a parking meter. This will allow Google Maps to send you a notification and remind you to move the car before your parking expires.
