Assuming the 'Parked Car' feature uses GPS, how exactly is that going to work in 90% of multi story concrete and steel car parks? I'm confused about this one?

It's worked flawlessly with Google Now for about 3 or 4 years.... once I forgot where I parked in a garge, and google walked me right to my door.

I wouldn't trust Apple maps to do that... it might have me walk over a wall to my death....

It's also helpful if you park on a street and forget what street such as in a busy urban area. Even if I still used an iPhone, I'd still use Google Now on it. Far better than siri, and google maps are far better than apple's.

I wouldn't quite call it flawless. If you park and step on another mode of transport, it wont know where you parked.
 
As someone who at one time loved the iPhone, I honestly have to ask how you people have not jumped ship yet? Once I switched to Android around 4 years ago, I never looked back. The iPhone is a complete and utter joke. iOS is an abomination. And even the hardware is lacking waaaaay behind. How is it 2016 and the iPhone still has no IR blaster!?!?

Yet you hang out at Mac Rumors... Really?
 
When the GPS has bad reception you'll get a notification if you want to save your car's location. Maps will open en you can slide the map around to get the "car-pin" on the correct location.

When the GPS has good reception, the location will be saved automatically.

Used it 5 times since yesterday and works like a charm so far. :)

And as mentioned: you can add a picture and some personal notes. "2nd floor, spot 211" for example is a nice note when in a concrete/steel car park ;-)

Quoting myself for the people who are bashing the feature without ever having used it.

It works great :)
 



The new and updated features included in iOS 10 are plentiful, and Apple users and developers have already begun to voice their opinions of a number of them online. Many testers have come away impressed by new, personalized additions to old apps like Photos, the new raise-to-wake feature, and subtle but useful additions to Maps, which can now remember where you parked your car.

Of course, where there are positives, there are negatives as well, so we've gathered up user reactions on a few of the new features of iOS 10 and attempted to bring in variety of opinions on each where possible while gauging overall sentiment from early users.

Parked Car Notifications

Reaction: Largely Positive

A new feature in iOS this year will allow Apple Maps to remember where users park their cars, which should be helpful when parking in large structures and garages. One iOS 10 beta tester noted the feature popping up at their home (which should eventually be prevented once a home address is entered) with a notification on the iPhone's lock screen.

Once in the Maps app, a small Parked Car icon appears where you left your car, and a separate sheet can be filled out to add details like a photo of the car's location and even a text note to jot down a description of the area or level of the parking garage you were in. Some users call the new parked car notifications a "catch-up feature," since Android and apps like Waze have offered similar functions for the past few years, but otherwise the reaction is an encouragingly bright one.

I have not gotten a single notification for parked car yet. had iOS 10 installed since release. does it only work when pulling into a certain sized parking lot? I have had my phone connected via Bluetooth and Lightning for CarPlay and with Navigation and without. Starting to wonder if this is only for US customers (I'm in Canada)

because IR blasters are like a billion years old and a gimmick.....not every Android phone has them either.
