Actually, I think there’s a better way to organize this:
I’m marking this feature request as complete, as there are two ways currently to detect when the phone is in a car: a car dock condition or a Bluetooth condition, both of which are available now as plug-ins on the Android Market.
In order to have the votes correctly tallied, created a new request for a speed condition. If you want a speed condition, vote here:

This is now supported in Locale 1.0. To add multiple conditions of the same type, simply long-press on the Add Condition button.
Locale 1.0 is available on the Android Market today in countries that support paid apps. Full release notes are here: http://www.twofortyfouram.com/notes.html

AUTOMATIC BACKUP/RESTORE
Locale has automatic backup and restore using the cloud-based backup mechanism in Android 2.2 or later. There are no configuration options within Locale—it just works!To use this feature, simply make sure that backup/restore is enabled by going to the Android Settings and verifying that Backup and Restore is enabled. (This option might be in a different place on different devices. With Android 2.2, it can be found under Android settings → Privacy. With Android 4.0, it can be found under Android settings → Backup & reset). Whenever Locale is uninstalled and reinstalled, the device is factory reset, or you upgrade to a new device, your Locale situations will be automatically restored. If there are no options for backup and restore under the Android Settings, then the device does not support automatic backup and restore.
Since backups are tried to a Google account, be sure to… more

Good news!
Android 4.0 finally grants apps official access the built-in calendar, so we’re planning to support this with a new Calendar condition. This new Calendar condition will be Android 4.0+ only.
As a general design principle, Locale only has features that Android officially supports (for the developers out there, we only use public APIs). This ensures that Locale works reliably across different versions of Android and different Android devices. For those without Android 4.0 (or those looking to live on the edge), there are some third-party plug-ins that implement Calendar condition functionality. These plug-ins are using undocumented Android APIs, and may therefore not work on all devices or may break when new versions of Android are released. Anyway, here are links to these plug-ins on the Android Market:

Loacle is intended to make peoples less of a hassle to use, and such an ability would make it a breeze. Right now, scheduling what days and times I am in a class takes way too many conditions and I need to add and remove them manualy. Definately adds this if it is possible to do.

Wi-Fi location training is now available as a feature in Locale 1.2. It can be found under the Menu of the Location condition.
We strongly discourage the use of third party location conditions or Wi-Fi conditions. These are less accurate and require more battery power. Instead, users should use the built-in Location condition and use Wi-Fi training if necessary.

This would be the #1 most important addition to Locale. GPS does not work indoors and WiFi locator is too innacuate on its own. I feel like local is not fully functional without it despite everything the app has accomplished thus far.

This would seriously save me headaches. It also would allow you to self troubleshoot if something is not working. For example a Location Condition might not be working because selected area is too small but it is hard to know if maybe it just has not updated yet, or maybe if GPS just does not have line of sight to sattelite. This would allow people to perfect their conditions better.
