The geo-fencing on WP8.1 is being improved, and in future we'll be able to manually enter the 'area' of our favorite places. But for now there's no such option. I want to know how far do you usually have to go before cortana gives you place-based reminders?
In my case, Cortana doesn't realize i've left home till i'm more than a kilometer away from home. This is inconvenient because if i have set reminders which apply within a kilometer, this feature will be useless. For example, if i have to get something from the local grocery, which is not a kilometer away from my house, Cortana won't be of much help. Or if i'm at the local grocery, and i need something from the pharmacy right next to it, Cortana's place based reminders won't help.
Is this the same for everyone else?
