Use variable value for location context

[Duckredbeard]

I can't find a way to use a variable as a location context.  I would like to be reminded of something when leaving specific locations, but those locations could be among dozens of possible places.  Those places are not known until I get there.

I already have a variable set to where I am when my car disconnects bluetooth.  I'd like to use that location variable in a location context.

You could have a profile that checks (every X minutes) how close you are to any place by using the Tasker Function > Distance Between Locations action and update a global variable with the distance. Then use that global variable in a new profile with the Variable Value state. :) 

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your contact.
