Finding Your Last Parking Spot

When you disconnect your Avtex Tourer One device from vehicle power, it saves your current location as a parking spot. If you have set up Watch Link, the device sends the parking spot location to your compatible Garmin watch (Setting Up Watch Link, page 16). You can navigate back to your parking spot using either your Avtex Tourer One device or the Watch Link app on your watch.

TIP: If your Avtex Tourer One device is connected to a switched power outlet, it saves your parking spot each time you turn off your vehicle. If your device is connected to an non-switched power outlet, you must unplug the vehicle power cable to save your parking spot.

On your Avtex Tourer One device, select Apps > Last Spot

> Go!.

On your watch, start the Watch Link app, select Find My Car, and walk toward your parking spot.
