Never get a parking ticket again: Google Maps tells you where your car is parked and how long you left it there

Google has updated its map app to allow users to mark where they have parked, as well as adding a timer which will notify them when their parking ticket is about to run out.

Parking tickets could soon be a thing of the past.

The latest release of Google Maps allows absent-minded drivers to easily pinpoint their car and find the best way to get back to it.

The new feature also provides a countdown timer and notifications, which could mean drivers return before landing a fine.
