If you were to look in my handbag today you might get the impression that I like purple 💜 (Purple passport case, for travel insurance info, ticket holder which holds travel information, my travel iBeacon, etc., and a purple collapsible water bottle!)

@techguy @JohnPhilpin So I use Launch Center Pro for geo reminders to open OmniFocus perspectives, run Workflow workflows, etc. It offers to let you use an iBeacon to trigger these things which has a much smaller trigger area than gps ones - so I get notified when approaching my room usually rather than in the lobby or a block away which is much more convenient. I turn on one before travel which just pops up with "suitcase spotted" because that's fun and can be handy at baggage claim!

@rosemaryorchard interesting. What iBeacon device do you use? User friendly?

@philbowell I have 3 Estimote beacons - they have an app and are fairly user friendly. The app allows you to copy the location information for the beacon which is very handy, after that you don't really need to use it again :)
