Yes, some of it is based on where I am, or where I have to get to 
--factoring in transportation time is one usage.   Another usage is if I 
have to do something in advance of the meeting - read something, or 
otherwise prepare.   For my geek book club, I like to set the reminder 
several days in advance to remind me to do the reading.   That's more of 
a task reminder, but it's still an instance where I'd like more control 
over the reminder duration.
