3DCoche, Where is my car? - Use augmented reality to find your car!

[carperto]

Please, Spica and Cliq owners, could you please tell to me whether the app works fine or not?

 

[carperto]

Version 1.7.2 -> Added park meter alarm

 

[carperto]

Version 1.7.9 -> On screen tutorial.

I've a question. What's the correct US measurement conversion. I am using meters in the app. Do you feel confortable with meters?

 

[RyanB]

I haven't tried your app yet, but in response to the conversion question, I think most Americans would prefer to use our system of measurement, and having it only in meters would be a "make or break" issue for me.

 

[carperto]

Version 1.8 -> Now you can manage up to 3 cars & US metric system.

I upgraded today to the latest release (android)... Menu just has "Save Position" and "RA View" (I have the italian version installed, so I dont know if my 'back-to-English' translation is the same as the original)...
How can I get the video tutorial and the park meter alarm?

Great app, by the way!

Hi,

Once you save position, tap on the car icon on the map and you will get the extra options menu. You have one menu for each car, so you can write 3 notes and set 3 different alarms.

Thanks!

By the way, there is no video tutorial. There is a text tutorial only in english because I still have to translate to Italian, French and German... Only english configurations get the tutorial right now.

Thanks a lot... actually, I was pretty sure I DID use park meter alarm function once time ago, but I couldnt remember how!

One more thing: would it be possible to have the app functioning even if GPS cant detect your position accurately (like under parking lot roofs)? I think it's a great app and I think that in some circumstances it might be useful even if (if the user chooses to do so) you have just a vague position of your car (or whatever you choose to track), while, as you know of course ;-)) , at the moment the app cant save positions if GPS is not accurate.

Thanks... my mistake, I meant "on screen tutorial", not "video tutorial"!

The problem here is that some users don't really get to understand what you mention... First version of the app used network and gps to get locations. Well, I had to remove the app from the market and republish a new one because almost all comments were negative. Users were getting locations half a mile away from their cars... they were really angry!

So I decided to force gps only.

One way of using the app for underground park lots could be by saving position on the entrance and then writing the place number as a note.

Thanks for the ideas!

I installed the demo version of the app and noticed ads at the top. Does the paid version remove the ads? Isn't it enough to have ads in the demo version and not add further restrictions (limit to 200 meters)?

Thanks

 

[carperto]

Revenue from ads is really ridiculous.

 

[carperto]

Version 1.8.2 -> Clear position from car menu

 

[carperto]

Version 1.8.3 -> Two new onscreen buttons to find car & my position

 

[carperto]

Version 1.8.4 -> Tutorial for Spanish users. If you are using the english version you don't need to upgrade.

 

[carperto]

Version 1.8.5 -> Support for low resolution screens, like HTC tattoo!

 

[carperto]

We decided to change name of the app.
Now it's Car Finder AR

for US users, i suggest feet or yards.

1 meter = 3.28083 feet
1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Thanks, US units have already been implemented!
