I know I can set a reminder to alert me when I leave my house, or arrive there. I want to use other locations, like my local grocery store for example. I add the store to my contact list w/ the linked address. I have tried "giant" (chain name) and "supermarket" in the company field while leaving first and last name blank. I include the address in the contact profile as well.

Siri still won't recognize it! There has got to be a way to tell siri
"remind me to buy lightbulbs when i (go to/arrive at) the supermarket." And it be MY supermarket I always go to.


Anyone know if this is possible?
 
Best I could find for you, not sure if it will help with what you're trying to do: http://jeffreydonenfeld.com/blog/2011/10/how-to-enable-geofenced-notifications-in-apple-ios-5/

Thanks a lot for your help, this isn't exactly what I'm looking for but I think that it is also telling me what I want isn't yet available. It is just rather disappointing that you can only set reminders when you are leaving/arriving at one location, your home. Right? Maybe I can set work too?

Argh, it just is so frustrating because if the GPS can tell when I'm at my house, it should be able to tell when I am at any address I set, anywhere!
