I wish I could remember where I read about this, but apparently there is a gps device application that captures where you parked, and can get you back to your car by gps directions. There is also a way to view all nearby establishments so you can get walking or driving directions to the post office or a deli, for instance.

This would be for individuals with short term memory problems. The pda suggestion was very good as well.
