I have made the trip to the grocery store to buy X only to arrive back home and remember that I had forgot to buy X. What I needed was some cue or reminder to jog my memory. The geominder could be an option.

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

Using Geominder is as simple as 1,2,3:

1. Teach Geominder about your locations.
2. Create reminders for those locations as needed.
3. When arriving at a marked location, Geominder will notify you.

Geominder uses mobile network’s cell id information and doesn’t require an extra GPS device. Mobile Network cell id information is usually suited for most common day-to-day uses (for example: home – office – shopping). No mobile operator fees are involved in using Geominder.

Relevance: I think I would want one of these to tell me when I am about to leave the house without my keys. Rather than focus on what I need to get, I would like to focus on what I do not have (e.g. glasses, keys, wallet) before leaving home/office/university.
