Geominder allows you to create location-based reminders that stay attached to physical locations. When arriving at a marked location, Geominder can play an alarm and display a stored text note or a voice note previously associated to the location. A location-based reminder can be much more convenient than standard time-based reminders so go and test it on your mobile!

Till now it has no streetmaps included, but with the release of Flash 8 it shoul be no problem anymore...
