   Use a Garmin pocket GPS to mark the spot before you walk away, and then   
   use the GPS to find your way back to the car.   
      
   Or get a car alarm system with extra long range remote, so you can use   
   your remote to make your car chirp and then follow the sound to find   
   your car.
