I am finding it impossible to get location based reminders working for places which have no major street address.
I live in a country ( Thailand ) where places frequently don't have 'proper addresses' .
Therefore, I do the following.
When I am somewhere I want to record as a place for future reminders I open G Maps and after the pointer shows my location, I click on the pointer , add a name and add to contacts.
I give a name like 'The Bistro'.
I can see a small map icon in the contact and it looks fine.
However, when I try to say 'remind me to buy food' , Siri asks when and when I say 'when I arrive at 'The Bisto', Siri doesn't recognise the contact.
I am guessing that this is because, if an location doesn't have an address such as a postcode or street number, then it can't work.
Is this assumption correct or is there some trick to get it to work ?
The perfect scenario would be to have a way to enter the exact co-ordinates as the location but I am reading that this is not possible.
Otherwise, Siri works very well
Thx for any help.
