What GPS software - carpark finder?

[dan168]

Hi,

I'm trying to look for something that does a simple task - record where my car is when I leave the carpark, and I can then recall that location later to get to my car if I'm lost (I have a VERY bad sense of direction, in fact, you can almost say I have no sense of direction :p).

I've been looking at something like the Vito Navigator, which seems to do what I want, but it seems a bit of an overkill for such a simple task... don't need fancy things like voice navigation etc, maybe just a compass saying that my car is, say, 200m to the North of where I am? Does anyone know any simple program that does this? Many thanks in advance :)

This simple program might work. Haven't tested it but the description says "mark the places of interest"

Why not just get a satnav software with POIs?

Saw that program, don't think it's that much different than Vito Navigator, but thanks anyway :)

I also tried that (yes I have tried a LOT of programs yesterday :) ), that seems to be the closest to what I'm after at the moment... it's free so that's a big thumbs up from me :D

I have TomTom and Garmin XT installed on my Diamond at the moment, and yes they would do the job just fine, except that in both software, it takes ages to mark a point. Imagine getting out of the car, then standing there for a minute or two trying to mark a point in the software indicating where your car is! (ok maybe not that long, but you know what I mean).

or you can try www.nav4all.com
it's free too and has a button called "remember parking"
it is a complete navigation program so it's at bit more complex, but easy to use.
