If you travel to any CBD or surrounds in Australia, the limited as well as metered parking can cause considerable stress particularly if you are out shopping or say at a restuarant with friends and the time flies along. Toyota have an iPhone application that you might however find useful, which can remind you when your car needs to be moved and just as importantly where you left it.
Park Smart is a simple and intuitive application for the iPhone™ which utilises Apple's push technology to help remind you of your parking so that you may avoid accidental and expensive parking infringements. Park Smart lets you quickly start the meter timer reminder and with a single tap, add hints to remind you where you've parked your car.

This FREE application is available through the Apple App Store.
Below is a short video from the US sitcom Seinfeld called "The Parking Garage" where the Seinfeld gang get lost after parking their car at a shopping centre. Could certainly have used this app to find the car.
