Anyone tried VisionQuest CarFinder on getjar.com?
- I found the app "VisionQuest CarFinder" on getjar.com (can't post links yet) while looking for something that helps you find your parked car. It seems to store the location after your car bluetooth is disconnected, which sounds like a pretty good idea. It is apparently only available as a demo right now. I was wondering if anybody has tried it and can provide any feedback, and (mostly) know if it is something safe to try...

This is way better than other car locating apps I've tried where you have to manually launch them every time you get out of your car. As if.
Bluetooth thing is pretty cool too... you pair your BB's BT with your in-vehicle BT. When I first installed VisionQuest CarFinder it prompted me to choose a BT device. Every time the BT pairing is established (i.e. every time I start my car) VisionQuest CarFinder launches GPS and starts noting my location. When I turn off my car the BT connection is lost, and VisionQuest CarFinder marks the most recent GPS waypoint as the location of where I parked. The whole thing runs in the background, so it doesn't interfere with anything else I'm doing (on phone, email, games, etc). Pretty cool.
Website (4carfinder.com) mentions a BT Car Charger that they're going to be offering for people who don't have in-vehicle BT.Last edited by CoolApps; 05-03-09 at 03:00 PM.

- ChrisySeeker of the Wayi also use it on manual and noticed the same thing. You won't be able to shut the app off completely if you have your device bluetooth enabled.
To shut the app off:
Turn off device bluetooth
Open Car Finder App
Pop Up will appear
Select NO
Select NO
Now the app will be off and you should see a red dot next to the icon.
This is something that needs to be addressed somehow. Everytime i reboot i have to go into the app and turn it off. And if i have my bluetooth speakers paired and on, i have to first disable bluetooth and then turn the app off. That is a pain.
Let me know if you understood and if it worked for you.
Otherwise, i really do like this app for parking and hiking.
