Hey Alex, Yeah I already had tried it with and without the the in my dictation. I even deleted the contact for Family Dollar and found all the info again and manually entered it as a contact, this time adding the zip code, still it doesn't work. Just tried arrive at Family Dollar, Arrive Family Dollar, and Siri still says it doesn't understand. Even tried doing this with another store down the street, and it didn't work either. Amazingly, I tried setting a location reminder for my Mom's which is in another state, and of course that worked fine. I have also tried just listing Family Dollar as a store in contacts, and then with a First name of Family and last name Dollar so it would look like a person and neither works, very frustrating On Jul 6, 2013, at 2:35 PM, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote:

For arrivals, try the keyword "get", as in "remind me to >>> so something when I get home", or "remind me to buy something when I get to >>> Family Dollar Store". You can also replace "get" with "leave", as in >>> "remind me to pick up my prescription when I leave here". >>> On Jul 6, 2013, at 12:47 PM, Brian Fischler <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> Hey all, >>>> >>>> I have listened to a few podcasts on setting a location reminder, but >>>> can't seem to do it either through Siri or manually.
