I'm probably being a bit dumb but anyway.......

Today I was going to my parents house. I knew that I wanted to borrow something from my dad but I also knew that i'd forget to ask him.

I set a reminder in the Reminder app and asked it to remind me when I arrived (using their address from my Contacts).

It worked perfectly. As soon as I pulled onto their driveway it beeped and alerted me as it should.

Now, say I'm planning to go into town to do some shopping and the mrs asks me to pick up a form from the post office.

In an ideal world, I need to be reminded because I'm bound to forget. However, the app only seems to let me select an address from my contacts. 'The town centre' is obviously not in my contacts.

Am I missing something? Can I not drop a pin on a map to select which location I want to be reminded at? Is there a workaround other than adding 'The town centre' to my contacts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
not sure tbh though mate haven't played with reminders yet :smashin:

Thanks.

This feature could be awesome if it wasn't for the fact that you have to select an address from your phone book.
