Since iOS4 the relevant significant change location APIs have been available by providing a delegate to the CLLocationManager class and calling the startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges() method.

Documentation is here:

Hi msheaffer,
We don't currently have any announcements about location-based alerts on the iOS apps, but if you haven't already, you may also want to vote for this feature in our Ideas forum here.

Thanks for your feedback on this!

Please add it in! Just heard that OmniFocus has added this capability in their newest update....

Is it true that this can only be done on iPhone 4/4S?

(thus not on my 3GS or iPad 2 3G?)

Does the Android RTM already have this? My friend has RTM for Android and when he drives by locations RTM makes a cow bell.

Hi pgrammatas,
Yes, location-based reminders are currently available in the Android app.

Thanks again everyone for your feedback on this!

Thanks Brendan for providing the link for people to vote for this feature. Hopefully everyone visiting this page will vote for it!

In the meantime, I just wanted to point out the perplexing discrepancy between the two mobile platforms. It's clearly an idea RTM is familiar with if it's already on Android and iOS has roughly the same market share. Why not just make it happen rather than waiting for people to vote?

Thanks!

A couple of important points that I would add to this discussion:

There would be a limitation in iOS preventing location warnings from working unless you had opened Remember the Milk since adding them so that they could be synced to and set on your device. This could cause some confusion, particularly since it's different from time-based reminders, which are basically push notifications and are therefore sent from the RTM servers at the appropriate time. The built-in Reminders app doesn't have this issue, since of course Apple allows its own apps to sync in the background whether they've been opened or not.

IMHO the current Android implementation of location reminders isn't really as useful as it should be, and I would hope that if this comes to the iPhone it's tweaked. On my Android device, I get location-based notifications regardless of whether there is anything to actually *do* at that location, making the feature virtually useless for me, since I would want it to trigger on locations that i might regularly visit but wouldn't regularly have things to actually do at. False alarms are worse than NO alarms, IMHO, because you basically train yourself to ignore them.

Hi jhollington,
If you haven't done so already, you may want to vote for this suggestion in our Ideas forum, which applies to the Android app's location-based reminders.

Thanks for your feedback!

Its not important to me. Most of my locations task can be done at multiple locations, take groceries, I can buy the same foods at multiple chains in the area, so location wouldn't help. But there are one-offs like getting an item at a specific store. However, usually I'll say "I need to get this item and therefore I must go to this specific store" , so the only time I'll be near the location is when I'm there to complete a task, anyway.
