When I first bought my Civic HB, the guy hooked me up with Honda Link and setup.
He showed me how I can see where my car was last parked and all. I thought this feature is useful when traveling and you like to know where you parked or how far.

However, eversince I got the an update, I notice the function is not their anymore...
Anyone experience this? I had another update or 2 since then, and currently running on version: 4.0.6 (Aug 2019).

Any ideas on how to get that "locate my car" feature?

I was disappointed with Honda Link. The salesman was showing me features when I was taking delivery such as remotely locking/unlocking, flashing the lights, GPS location etc. Turns out the only features I have are my range, oil life and mileage lol

I pretty much stopped using it as it never updated itself to what the car was telling me. Millage driven was off, oil life was off and I could never figure out how to update it correctly.

Hondalink is total shit.
Took the app off my phone after a week because it did nothing it was supposed to, except show me where I parked last, and even I can remember that much.

I noticed the only way the app would update for me would be to have it connect, load the app, and let it do its thing. It takes way too long for my patience. I just want to hook my phone up for CarPlay and be on my way...

Couldn't of said it better!
Through over two years, two different civics and three different phones, it never worked right.

Hmm my app doesn't show me where I parked last. Is this specific to certain trim levels? All mine shows is:
- Total Range
- Odometer, Oil live
- Service button
- Roadside assistance, Support

I was at the dealership prior to buying the car, and the dealer said it did so, but I can't find where it tells you this. I have a 2019 EX Sedan.

It barely ever updates and therefore is useless. My location would stay the same for weeks.

This is the 4th year this app has been available,at least as I've been trying to use it on and off since 2017,and it's still totally useless as several people mentioned.

Honda could learn something from Ford when it comes to HondaLink. I have a 2018 Mustang GT and it uses Sync 3 along with FordPass app. I can start the car from anywhere in the world using my phone as long as I have service, I can lock and unlock doors, see how much gas I have and DTE, oil life, etc. Extremely useful in cold and hot weather as the car will adjust the cooling and heating as needed (heated and cooled seats, heated steering, etc). The price of this service is included with the car and is active for 5 years from date of purchase.

Randomly found someone in UK that has myHonda App with dongle.... couldn't really find much info on google except for promotional Youtube ads about it and only available in the UK? All I could find were posts from 2017. Anyone else heard of this?
