Description
Section titled “Description”Parked Car Location lets Apple Maps remember where your car is after your iPhone disconnects from your car’s Bluetooth or CarPlay system. This may reveal where you drove, where you stopped, and what places are part of your routine.
If you do not see Show Parked Location, it may not mean the setting disappeared. The feature depends on Location Services, Maps location access, Bluetooth or CarPlay, and related system location settings. On some iPhone and iOS combinations, the option may only appear when those prerequisites are available.
