1.Buy a cheap celfone with a GPS software or a second hand pocket gps.
2.Mark/punch the spot before leaving using the landmark option on the celfone. No need for map function. The coordinates
is the only thing important.
3. Use the coordinates to go back to your car. The gps will point the direction.
Hope this helps. cheers

Ride with her as mentioned earlier. Take her iphone (latter version)and on the maps widget there is a gps locator on it use that feature to see where your at and then take a screen shot of the location. If thats not possible Valet it if possible or maybe you should be doing the driving.

I may be missing something here but doesn't my earlier suggestion cover both of these bases? She already has an iPhone, why buy anything else?
Anyways you maybe right she might be well off using the i-phone since she is so engrossed (might be tech savvy too) Cheers!
