Notify Me Help
General usage:
Notify Me works by searching through the GPS entries until it finds an active location. If no active location is found it then searches through the time entries until if finds an active time period. Once an active GPS or time entry is found, the sound, vibrate, flash and repeat options are set according to the setting in the Notification Options menu for the active entry.
Entries are prioritised by GPS then time and according to their order. So if a GPS and a time entry overlap, the settings from the GPS will remain active so long as you remain in that location. Also, if the first GPS or time entry overlaps another GPS or time entry in the same list, the entry higher up the list will be active so long as you remain in that location or the current time is between the BEFORE and AFTER times.
General options:
1. Enable Application.
Temporally disable Notify Me while leaving the program running.
