iPhone Reminders;
When I leave a location I have my iPhone remind me to turn the Ringer volume up.... But...
Right now, it tells me about 100m away, by which time its too noisy in RL to hear it.
Is there a way to set the trigger radius lower?
Or a 3rd party app?
Thanks

These are the only links I could find from Apple that might help:
iOS 5: Understanding Location Services
iOS: Understanding Notifications
You could look in the App Store / iTunes Store if these links don't help.
Thanks, BT.
I don't see anything there that can help. I note that my Google maps sees my location within about 10-15m which is pretty good, but not as good as I'd like.
If I can't improve this, I will abandon it.
Try looking in the iTune Store, maybe an App in there that might do wht you want.
I've just released an app to do what you asked for
http://itunes.apple.com/app/radius-reminder/id563156445?mt=8
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Excellent. I bought it and will try it out over the next few days!
Thanks!
UPDATED: Uh Oh!
I did not notice, but your app requires iOS 6. I definitely need Google Maps (Apple Maps are a joke now) so will not be upgrading to iOS 6 until that app is available again. Sorry.
Sorry to hear I didn't help, but I will add OSM support in the app in a next release.

I have an iPhone 5 now, so will try it.

Well, I have tried your app for days now, at least 20 times, and NOTHING HAPPENS.
I set the radius to 26m (and other sizes), set the address, pushpin looks fine on map etc, I can sit and watch on the map as I walk down the road, either in YOUR app, or in Apple Maps.
When I leave the area, NOTHING HAPPENS. Today I walked back and forth 10 times trying different ways to make this work. No Luck.
I check in Apple Reminders App and there seems to be a Reminder set correctly, but nothing happens.
ALSO: the buttons "When I leave the area" and "When I enter the area" are dark green and black, which look totally the same in bright light. THINK AGAIN.
All I want is a Reminder to ALWAYS, always, ALWAYS remind me to Switch On the stupid ringer button whenever I leave home. ALWAYS.
Reminders; when I leave a location... Want to make radius smaller...
