A system and method combines a positioning system, for example, the Navistar global positioning system (GPS), with a personal electronic device. The personal electronic device can be a PDA, or a mobile cellular phone, for example. The positioning system provides real-time location specific information that is converted into coordinates, such as latitude and longitude. The system and method of the present invention then references the location to a particular task stored in resident memory and activates a reminder which notifies the user of a particular task. This involves having the user input reminders which signal when the user is within a specified geographic area, or within a specified range which is in the resolution of the GPS.
