Geominder for Series 60 phones
Geominder allows you to create location-based reminders that stay attached to physical locations.

When arriving at a marked location, Geominder can play an alarm and display a stored text note or a voice note previously associated to the location.

A location-based reminder can be much more convenient than standard time-based reminders - for example:
  • "When I arrive at the office, remind me to review next week's schedule"
  • "When I pass supermarket, remind me to buy vegetables"
  • "At home remind me to call Dave"
Geominder can improve your life in many other ways and scenarios, which are only bounded by your imagination!

Geominder uses mobile network's cell id information and doesn't require an extra GPS device. Mobile Network cell id information is free of mobile operator charges and depends on the cell antenna geographic distribution which is usually suited for most common day-to-day uses (for example home - office - shopping). No mobile operator fees are involved in using Geominder.

Excellent piece of Software!!
I've always dreamed of having something like this on my phone. I always set reminder alarms for later but they always pop up at inopertune times... I hit close and then forget about it. Literally!

With this piece of software the alarm goes off when I'm in proximity of the location right when you need it, and thats pretty amazing I think.
Kudos to the developer.
Highly recommended.
