1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device, a plurality of signals from the mobile device and a motor vehicle, wherein the mobile device is connected to the motor vehicle and wherein the plurality of signals comprise a GPS signal, a disconnect signal, and a gear sensor;
generating a probability that the motor vehicle is parked based on the plurality of signals;
determining that the motor vehicle is parked based on the probability;
generating a notification that indicates a position of the motor vehicle based on the GPS signal;
storing the notification on a computer readable memory of the mobile device;
receiving a second GPS signal, wherein the second GPS signal is proximal to the position of the motor vehicle; and
presenting the notification of the position of the motor vehicle based on the receipt of the second GPS signal.

Abstract
A user may be provided with a representation of their vehicle on the user'"'"'s mobile device. The vehicle'"'"'s location may be determined based on one or more signals received from the mobile device and/or the motor vehicle. The device may generate a notification or otherwise store an indication of the motor vehicle'"'"'s position. A representation of the motor vehicle'"'"'s location may be provided to the user on the mobile device.

17. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
generating a probability that a motor vehicle is parked based on at least a first GPS signal and a disconnect signal, wherein the first GPS signal and the disconnect signal are received by a mobile device that was connected to the infotainment system of a motor vehicle; determining that the motor vehicle is parked based on the probability; determining a position of the motor vehicle based on the first GPS signal; determining, based on a second GPS signal, that the mobile device is a threshold distance away from the position of the motor vehicle at a first time reference; storing an indication of the position of the motor vehicle; determining, based on a third GPS signal, that the mobile device is proximal to the position of the motor vehicle at a second time reference; and providing a representation of the position of the motor vehicle relative to the mobile device based on the first GPS signal and the third GPS signal.
