Locate parked car with Apple Maps on iPhone 13

This is a very strange question, but a friend of mine has lent her car to a let’s just say significant other that she didn’t know well enough, and I didn’t know if there was any way through her Apple Maps or any other features on these super technologically advanced mini computers to possibly locate her parked vehicle or last known whereabouts of it how would I go about showing her how to find that on her phone? She has a 13 by the way

No.

Unless your friend has hidden an Apple AirTag in the car, and can see it in Find My on the Apple iPhone 13, or macOS, then there is no means to locate the vehicle with Apple devices, or on Apple Maps.

If no expectation was shared as to how long the car was to be loanable, then consider it now a stolen vehicle. Get the police involved with the license number, make/model/year/Vehicle Identifier number (VIN), and description, last known address of the person now driving the car.

There are also "signicant" and deceptive criminals.

And just so everyone knows yes I have suggested her calling the police. She’s not ready to go there yet, but I just know how advanced these phones are and how they keep up with every little thing it’s got to be away.
