say a car in a parking lot if you cant do it with technology (aka GPS) nor can you use your memory, or let it happen by chance?
-
You can triangulate from the location of certain stars... I have no clue how, but that's how the old sailors used to navigate... It would work in space too, I believe Apollo 13 used the stars to recalibrate their nav computer... (read the book).
-
good idea, but i dont see it going into mass production :p aka all the people on the planet need to find theyr cars ;)
-
Oh... I thought you meant a point in outer space... Put something identifying on your car, ie, temporarily tie a ribbon to the antenna.
Some cars also have a "panic" button on their key fob, that honks the horn and flashes the lights...
-
Electronic locking systems usually produce lightflash and noise when pressing the button in the key.
For older cars, I guess you could rely on carrying the licence plate number with you. That usually is unique... ;)
Or go with jr2 approach and decorate your car a bit to make it unique. Like toiletpaper in the windshiled wipers.

Electronic locking systems
aka key fobs :p
-
actually, i thought up of all of those :p
anyway i thought up of the walkytalky system (beeping thing where when you get close to other beeps become more consistent ;))
now just to integrate that into my car and my keys yarr :D
-
My ideas don't come cheap.
-
paint "hey you ****ing moron! im over here" on the hood :D
-
Paint your tires hot pink. ;7
-
Here's what you need to put in your car: a quietly beeping buzzer and a digital number display counting towards zero. When it rolls around it starts from the beginning (9999 for example).
Then follow the sirens and look where the restricted area and bomb squad is... :drevil:
-
a MAP.
-
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science? ;7
-
Write "THIS IS SPARTA" on the back of your car with soap.
-
the point is, if i write anything on my car it will also appear on everyone elses car ;)
-
Not if you write www.hard-light.net on it... well, even if it did appear on everyone else's cars, that'd be a good thing. A really good thing. :)
-
ye but i still wouldnt be able to find MY car :/

Or put "RED SAUCE ON PASTA" all over your car...
-
Config your targetting system that way that your flight computer think your car is a missile.
-
You need 6 points of reference plus a source-point, so 7 points of reference to navigate in all three dimensions. The start point needs 3, as does the end point.

About 6 years ago?
