    I hear ya! If you stay away from Disney and places like that, it shouldn't be too hard to find the car. Unless you're in Florida and you have a white Corolla or a white or black Tesla. Then you just have to decide which one to try first. :ROFLMAO:

    Or a silver Prius?

    I usually snap a couple pics and "drop a pin" in google map when I park.

    For those with ios, you can buy an Airtag module designed to attach to keys or luggage and leave one in the car. Side benefit is it can show you where the car is if someone "borrows" it. The technology in the tag pings any nearby ios phone and relays the location back to you. When used on airport luggage you can track the luggage on to the plane and typically see it at the destination (or at the wrong airport) in realtime assuming there are iphones around.

    I can spot my glowing bright Blue Magnetism Prius Prime in less than a second from a mile away among one million cars in any lighting condition. That is one huge advantage of that color.

    It is too bad that they discontinued it in Gen 5. :(
