How do I use location based Reminders when my address does not show up in Apple Maps?

I currently live overseas and Apple maps does not have any street names listed in my neighborhood.  I have tried dropping a pin on my house and adding it to contacts, but it just takes me back to the center of town which is about 5 miles from my house and closer to my office so that the location reminders gets confused.
Is it possible to enter gps locations directly into the reminders program or into my contacts?  Any suggestions are welcome!

@Kilgore-Trout, there is no "contact us" at the bottom of the Apple Map. All I get is report the problem...move the pin, which I have done numerous times. Google maps gets it right & due to that fact, we have to tell vendors to NEVER use Apple Maps when getting directions for deliveries. I love apple, own all their products and now my BMW i3 is using their maps & I would love to have them be responsive.

  • HT5429 How can I use this app in India? It does not show me precise navigation direction here at all?

    How do I use new apple maps (GPS) upgraded in the iOS 6 of my 4S model. It is neither showing me precise location of my whereabouts nor giving me driving directions to the defined locations. I even tried putting very prominent locations near me, but it said maps server not responding. How to solve this problem? can I get the older version of maps?

    The Apple Maps app will get better over time. And we will see this with each subsequent iOS upgrade. It will take time. There is nothing we can do, execept wait. Sorry.
    Remember, when the original Apple/Google maps came out in the original iPhone, five plus years ago, it was garbage and pretty much unusable.

  • Siri keeps telling me "your calendar does not support location-based reminders" when I ask her to remind me to feed the cat when I get home. My address is in contacts and it has worked previously. Did iOS 8 change something?

    calendar does not support location-based reminders....
    i Just found a similar question below and it resolved my issue. Turn off the sync to exchange email and all works fine now.

    Couldn't agree more.  I've been *trying* to use location reminders ever since buying my iPhone 4S but as yet, out of many, many attempts they've only actually worked once.
    The kid problem is very simple, the way the phone needs the location to be an address in your address book, and it's subsequent inability to correctly locate the address. My home address is a correct postal address, and has been unchanged for 40+ years, yet clicking on my address from my own contact entry puts my location some distance down my street.
    Whilst I understand the issue with the address lookup, it seems to be a massive problem with the location based reminders as it's just not possible to set useful reminders.
    What if I want to remind myself of something when I arrive at the car park on a shopping trip?  There is no address for that in my contacts, I just want to pinpoint the location on the maps and say 'remind me when I get there'.  Surely that's the simplest my far.  Same with address book contacts, if you had a field with the gps position in then one could tag the locations and know they were 100% accurate for location services.
    Such a shame as it's one of the key reasons I upgraded my phone and as it stands it just plain doesn't work.

  • After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

    After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

    Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
    The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
    By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
    And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
    So this is solved.

    How to refund to a buyer when paypal details does not show a refund link?

    Yeah, I understand, there is so much more to communication than words on paper.Folks interpret written words according to a whole lot of complicated emotions and feelings. We then project that onto the author and decide why we think they formed that particular combination of words.It is certainly far from perfect.What is missing is volume, intonation, body language, facial expressions, etc. Emoticons are a very big help.I am sorry that you interpreted my tone as abrupt. It was certainly not meant to be. I apologize if I have offended you in any way.I admit my lack of pc. I just did not see this as a social atmosphere, which it  really can be.I was just asking for information. I will try to do better in the future.

  • When bookmarking it does not show the list of folders that I have in bookmarks to place new bookmark into. I reset firefox

    When bookmarking it does not show the list of folders that I have in bookmarks to place new bookmark into. I reset firefox and still have the bookmarks from the bookmark tab, Just bookmarking new ones the folders do not appear to place new bookmarks in, only a few folders show

    Click the arrow at the far right (outside) of the Folder field (i.e. not the one in the Folder field) in the "Edit This Bookmark" window to access the complete folder list.<br />
    This full folder list also opens if you click the drop marker in the Folder field and click the "Choose..." item.<br />
    If folders in the list aren't expanded then look for a possibly faint arrow icon to expand/open the folders.

    How do I send an email with a group address and not show the addresses/names of the recipients?

    Use BCC.   That's blind carbon copy.   And copy paste the address into the BCC field.  It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

    Pop up menu shows my Apple ID in my iphone as my old email Apple ID. This happens when I try to go into iCloud . It does not show my new apple ID.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

  • TS4079 problems with siri using location based reminders

    When i tell siri to remind me to stop by the store when i leave work today i get a error message.  The message states my calendar service does not allow me to set location based reminders.  I thought this was something that siri does.  Any help fixing this problem is greatlhy appreciated.

    I had the same problem, after reseting the phone and restoring, it worked for a while. The root of the problem stems from using and Exchange mail account. The reminders are set to exchange tasks and it won't work for location-based reminders. The solution can be found at this link:

  • How do you set location based reminders with location restrictions turned on?

    I can set location based reminders with location restrictions turned off, but I want them on. Otherwise if I lost or if somebody stole my iPhone they could just turn off the find my iPhone function. Yet if I have location services restricted to prevent this then location based reminders are unavailable. Any help would be appreciated

  • When filtering by keyword and using "Edit In" with Photoshop, edited file does not show up in list

    When I do an "edit in" using CS5 and save it, the edited file does not show up in my LR4 preview window.
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    There are two distinct modes by which Edit In... may first open an image into PS: as a fully pre-converted rendered file; or as an on-the-fly converted image in memory.
    (When LR opens a PS-edited image a second time into PS, using "Edit Original", the former option is always used.)
    In the latter case, it is ACR which does this on-the-fly conversion, working from the original image (as imported into LR) plus your subsequent LR adjustment metadata. This means ACR compatibility with LR becomes an issue - as it is not, with the pre-rendered file option.
    There is a useful clue to which mode is being used:
    the title of the PS document window, in the case of the on-the-fly conversion, still shows the name of the Raw file (or whatever) that you started with in LR... no file has been saved as yet, to say any different. You can Save or Save as, wherever and under whatever name, and from now on LR will look there for your edited image. Or if you close unsaved, LR has no edited image to show at all.
    the title of the PS document window in the pre-rendered case, is the name of a file already saved on disk and already showing in LR. If you then saved this elsewhere, you would merely make a duplicate which LR cannot know about - and if this duplicate is the one which contains your PS work, LR will accordingly not show that. It is busy showing the content of the specific file that was passed to PS.
    So, if inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334.dng - you can save it wherever you like. If inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334-edit.tif - you will have to save your changes back to that exact same file, in order for them to be seen in LR.
