Background. Many applications/platforms have a calander function that allows you to put in your apointments. You can also set a reminder for a certain amount of time before that event starts. Which works great if you are always sitting at your desk and all of your meetings happen in the conference room down the hall. Just choose 15 minutes beforehand. But what if you are out in the field? What if you don't know where you will be 15 minutes before that meeting starts? What if you are not in front of your computer at that moment?

To solve this the reminder should be based on the present location of your cell phone. In other words instead of a reminder poping up on your computer that says "In 15 minutes you have a meeting starting at Client ABCs main office." you should instead get a message that says in essance "You need to leave your present position in 5 minutes to get to your meeting with Client XYZ on time."

This would basically be a mashup of google maps/directions/event reminders/calander. Tied to location services from your phone and then a text message.
