How can I use tasker to find my parked car?

[Zakaria A]

I'm a bit confused on what steps I need to take to find a parked car using tasker and google maps together

Here is my profile for doing this. It is triggered by shaking the phone foreward and backward. It gets a location fix and then sends a text message to my phone with a link that will open google maps with navigation to that location. It also opens the link when it sends the message, so you can verify the it got a good location fix. 

Profile: Email my location (308)

        Event: Shake [ Axis:Backwards-Forwards Sensitivity:Very Low Duration:Very Long ]

Enter: email my location (275)

        A1: Get Location [ Source:GPS Timeout (Seconds):100 Continue Task Immediately:Off Keep Tracking:On ]

        <This wait allows time for the GPS to get a good fix.>

        A2: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:10 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]

        A3: Variable Set [ Name:%path To:http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%LOC+(label)&ll=%LOC&z=21&t=k&iwloc=A&hl=en Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]

        A4: Send SMS [ Number:1234567890 Message:%path Store In Messaging App:On ]

        A5: Browse URL [ URL:%path ]

Thanks, I got it to working following your steps. Is there a way to locate the car without any internet connection? It seems to say that it needs internet connection for it to locate the location and was wondering, in case I lose connection
