A Google Keep update ties your reminders not only to time, but to location. What better way to not forget the milk than when you walk into the grocery store? August 21, 2013 1:16 PM PDT Google Keep will now let you set reminders based on time and location. (Credit: Google) Google Keep, the company's answer to Evernote, has added reminders that work with both time and location. The update on Wednesday lets you set a location, such as a grocery store, as well as the traditional time-based reminder. The settings, which also tie in with Google Now, can set reminders for lists and notes. You can create a reminder by tapping the Remind Me button at the bottom of any note, and then set a specific time or a general one, such as "afternoon." Location-based reminders work similar to Google Maps, and suggest places as soon as you begin typing.
