Allow us to discover where locale thinks we are
For troubleshooting location conditions, it would be very handy to be able to ask locale where it thinks we currently are (I imagine a point with an error circle.) I often have problems with conditions not being met, and I'm unsure why

Uh… Locale does this without you having to do anything.
From the FAQ and Locale’s build in Help:
Move yourself to the location that you are interested in and create a new location condition. Wait for Locale to determine your location. Once the location is determined, notice the position of the pin and the size of the circle’s radius. This is exactly what Locale sees based on GPS, Wi-Fi access points, and cell towers in your area. Save the location without resizing or moving the pin. Once you save the situation, Locale should accurately detect your location when you are standing in this spot.
To improve accuracy with your own Wi-Fi access point, consider adding it to the location database. It may take about a week before Locale is informed of this update, at which point you’ll need to clear Locale’s Wi-Fi cache under Settings → Applications → Manage Applications → Locale → Clear Cache.
