iOS 5: How To Create A Location Triggered Reminder

The iOS 5 Reminders App was one of the 10 of 200 new features showcased last week by Apple.
For me, what makes iOS 5′s Reminders app stand out from the crowd is the very clever inclusion of setting a reminder based on the devices future location.
So for example, you can receive a reminder to pick up the dry cleaning when you’re at the mall.
Here’s how to create a location based reminder in iOS 5:
1.  Tap Reminders app
2.  Tap either the plus symbol or an empty row to create a new reminder.
3.  Enter a name for the reminder
4.  Tap the new reminder to access the details
5.  Tap the Remind Me row
6.  Toggle the At a Location switch to ON
7.  Specify the location as either your current location or by selecting a location from your Contacts address book (hopefully this will be improved in future to include selecting frmo map, typing an address, etc)
8.  Tap either When I Arrive or When I Leave
9.  Tap Done
More on the new Reminders app over the next few weeks and months.
This was tested on iOS 5 beta 1 developer release and may change when iOS 5 is released.
