Hi, D. On my Android, as a part of the "@ & Locations" view which supports Nearby functions, I can set "notify when I arrive" and "notify when I leave" for the given context, which is associated with a circle on the map with specific center and radius. How is this different from what you are requesting? Is this functionality that's not yet available on iPhone? If not, perhaps it's a part of the MLO/iPhone release that's currently ion beta testing.
That said, there's a problem with MLO's location reminders and I wonder if you can tell us how Checkmark handles this issue. MLO/Android relies on the Android operating system to identify the phone's current location. Android uses GPS if available and otherwise relies on triangulation from visible WiFi networks and cell towers. The triangulated positions can be quite inaccurate, especially in rural locations where cell towers are widely separated the error can be a couple of miles. So the problem comes when I am indoors at a location that has arrival or departure reminders enabled. My phone is constantly trying to get a GPS fix and sometimes succeeds, but seldom holds the fix for long. Also, the triangulation location shifts, I suppose as cell towers at the edge od my reception area fade in and out of visibility. The result is that the location reported by Android to MLO shifts frequently, and often switched into and out of the circle defined as the local context several times per minute. This results in arrival or departure alarms or both sounding several times per minute, which is really intolerable. Do you see anything like this with Checkmark and if not, do you know how they avoid it?

Please vote for it if you would also like this feature (feel free to reply here, too). Basically - I've started using an app called Checkmark, which provides alerts when you arrive at/leave a location - ie. location-based reminders. iOS can also do this with Reminders, but less flexibly. Rather than use Checkmark, I would love to see this added in MLO. We already have Nearby, so we would just need geofencing implemented. Full description and proposed operation is in the Uservoice post. Thanks D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
