- 6not tracking geofences". Geo-fence - as you may already know - is a way to create a boundary around a place of interest to you. For example your home, your workplace or anywhere that is of interest to you. It allows your apps to create an experience for you when you enter those areas and it allows you to create a more personalized environment. Your applications can detect when you enter these zones and they can provide you with different services based on other things in the vicinity of that zone. This menu doesn't show any ways of enabling geofences.Now, we can see here it says, "Current status:

I would like to be reminded when I arrive so I will leave that there. I am going to press down on the text box and write my address. After that, I am going to press done.Here we have a location reminder.
- 11Tbilisi, Georgia.It will search for locations and here I am going to choose the location:
- 12Yes."Remind you about this?".
- 13So, Cortana is going to remind me to water the plants when I get home.
