It looks like Apple’s doing everything it can to get its in-house Maps software back in our good graces. Thanks to a hidden asset buried deep in iOS 8, new icons seem to reveal a Maps feature that would remember exactly where users last parked their cars.
Of course, how the new feature would actually work remains a mystery. It could follow Google’s example of automatically dropping pins whenever you exit a moving vehicle, or it might go a more manual route. Then again, there’s always the question of how Car Play could fit into the mix.
The parking function, which would be coming hot on the heels of Google Now’s own parking-spot-recalling software, was likely cut from the initial iOS 8 beta release, meaning we could be seeing it in any one of the updates to come. [9to5 Mac]
