Hi. I don't think you are missing anything. "Nearby" processing only recognizes active tasks. Anything you did to remove the distant tasks from your active tasks list would also keep them from being recognized when you arrived at their location.
The best workaround I can recommend is this 1. Define your location-based contexts as "always closed" in the "hours" section 2. When you arrive at a location that you know is associated with a context (or even before you go there) bring up the "Nearby" view on your phone and select "map" 3. Zoom out to a view wide enough to cover the full area where you will be travelling today. 4. Contexts with active tasks are shown with a red pin. If you followed step 1 there will not be many of these 5. Contexts with inactive tasks (or no tasks) are shown with a green pin. 6. If you are zoomed out too far, pins may cover each other. Zoom in to see them separately. 7. Click the pin to see the first nine or so tasks at the location. This does not have the unsolicited reminder that you can get with active tasks at alarmed locations but it does show you what needs to be done around your location without cluttering up your active to-do list. -Dwight From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 11:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MLO] Location based reminders? I might be missing something obvious here but i just started setting up pro for PC and android. How can I set up an active task that only shows up in my to do list view when i arrive at the context location? So far i can only make location based reminders work for active tasks but that clutters up the to do list. Thanks in advance for any answers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
