Your options include the following:

If you have an iPad mini with 3G or 4G, you can also set a location-based re-
minder. Just tap the At a Location switch (not shown in Figure
13-4
because that
particular iPad is Wi-Fi only) to enable it, specify the location, and then choose
When I Arrive, or When I Leave.
Location-based reminders will suck your iPad battery dry faster
than almost anything else. Remember to mark location-based reminders as com-
pletedbytappingtheircheckboxeswhenyoufinishthemoryou'llberemindedof
something you've already done every time you pass that location and drain your
iPad battery unnecessarily.
If you set a location-based reminder with an iPhone, iPad with 3G
or 4G, or iPad mini with cellular, or with the Reminders app in OS X Mountain
Lion or Mavericks, the reminder syncs with your Wi-Fi-only iPad, but without
the location information. In fact, you won't even see the At a Location switch if
your iPad mini is a Wi-Fi-only model (as in Figure
13-4
).
