Meet Trace Locate
Never lose your car again. Trace Locate uses advanced motion intelligence to automatically save where you parked — no buttons, no Bluetooth pairing, no setup.
A simulation of AR Mode in a parking garage: arrows on the floor, a pin over the car, and its floor and spot.

Locate
01
Drive anywhere
Trace detects when you're driving using your phone's motion sensors. Works with every car — Tesla, BMW, Honda, rentals.
02
Park and walk away
The moment you stop driving and start walking, Trace captures your GPS location with pinpoint accuracy.
03
Auto-saved in 60 seconds
After confirming you've left the car, your spot is saved and you get a push notification. Completely hands-free.
04
Walk back with the radar or in AR
Open Trace Locate to see a live radar guiding you back, changing from red to green as you get closer. Or switch to AR Mode and follow the arrows on the ground.
Follow the arrows to your car
Built for giant lots and underground garages, where one row looks like every other.
AR Mode
Hold up your phone and Trace finds the real floor, lays a path of arrows on the ground and pins your car above it, with its parking floor, spot number, how long ago you parked and the photo you took of the spot.
Floor detection
In a parking structure, Trace notes which floor you parked on, so you head for the right level the first time.
Works without signal
No bars in the garage? Your saved spot, floor, radar and AR all work offline, along with your garage and messages.

Every car on Trace keeps a record of its owners, so buyers know where it's been and who's driving it now.

- Ownership moves only when both buyer and seller confirm the handover
- Sale prices are never shown
