    my phone and sure enough there was a little message on the screen
    saying "Post office" "Leaving [first place I went]".

    I don't know when the mssage came up b'cuz it was in my backpack.
    Probably not till after I left the parking lot at my first stop. If
    it came up before I was driving I could have looked at it but I
    didn't know.

    Is there any way to make a Reminder beep to remind me to look at the
    phone? If I hadn't of remembered about the PO I would have gone home
    my usual way and not seen the message until too late.

    My Reminders make a sound. Have you looked in Settings - Notifications
    - Reminders?

    Also check your mute button on the side of the device. If the device is
    muted, notification sounds are silenced, naturally.

    Thanks badgolferman and JR. Yes I did have Sounds turned on in
    Notification and I did have the ringer on. I think maybe b'cuz it was in
    my backpack I didn't hear the little ding. I just changed it to some
    Star Wars music that's longer, I tried it with a time reminder and it
    worked so tomorrow I'll try it with a Leaving Location reminder and see
    what happens. Thanks.

    You have to have your Notifications set correctly AND have Sounds set
    correctly to allow Notifications to make a sound when a Notification pops.
