1. A method for operating a computing device, comprising:
- detecting a change in a status of a network connection for the computing device, wherein the network connection is between the computing device and a car, and wherein the change in the status of the network connection occurs when the car is one of parked or turned off;
based on the change in status of the network connection, determining a physical location of the computing device; and
recording the physical location in a map application operating on the computing device, the recorded physical location representing the physical location of the computing device when the change of the status of the network connection occurred, the recording comprising saying, in the map application, a location indicator showing the physical location of the car.

Abstract
The described embodiments provide a system for performing an action based on a change in a status of a wired or wireless network connection for the system. During operation, the system detects the change in the status of the network connection. In response to detecting the change, the system determines a state of the system. The system then performs one or more actions using the determined state.
