Show HN: Siri hack to use any location with reminders
I figured out a way to get Siri to set reminders for you when you leave or arrive at ANY location, not just home or work.
1. You need to go into your contact card
2. Push edit and scroll down to addresses
3. Add a new address, and push the label that appears to the left of the address (usually work/home)
4. At the bottom, you can add a custom label, it can be anything, say "Target."
5. Add the address for the Target, then push done
6. When you launch Siri, you can now tell her to remind you when you leave "My target." For example: "Remind me to buy milk when I arrive at my target" Be sure to say "my," I couldn't get it to work otherwise.
I've found that its more accurate when you split up the reminder, so it would be "remind me to buy milk" and when she asks when to remind you, say "when I arrive at my target"
Why wouldn't you just add another contact card for a the location? For work it would be the name of your company...for the grocery store it would be the name of the grocery store? I think I am missing how this is a hack...
Just watched this demo - http://www.techcrunch.tv/show/new-and-featured/5tdmJ3Mjrhxdd.... I'm quite impressed with the speed. A lot of the tasks he demoes are actually faster than doing them with the touch interface.
