Wheria

Live

Remembers exactly where you parked, including which floor, using your phone's motion and barometer sensors instead of GPS — all processing stays on the device.

FreeWorks offlineData stays with you
What to know▼
How it works
Remembers where you parked, indoors or out, by fusing motion and barometer data to track which floor you're on and guide you back with zero GPS signal. You can scan a pillar sign to auto-fill your spot, leave a voice memo, log parking cost, or scan a street sign to auto-set a move-your-car reminder.
What's different
Unlike Google/Apple Maps' free auto-pin, it works in deep garages and malls with no GPS by using motion and barometer sensors, and tracks the specific floor.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
Drivers who regularly park in large garages or malls where GPS-based auto-pin apps fail to find the car again.
Watch out
Processing is 100% on-device, nothing leaves the phone.
