5. Once your happy with the location you can go back to main reminders screen. In my case, what will happen now is when I arrive at Tesco’s my phone will remind me to pick up milk and only then. So if i set it at 6 in the morning but don’t go to Tesco’s until 9 at night it will still remind me. You can reverse it to show when you leave a location the common one is to set it while at work so as soon as you leave the reminder goes off.
