As of Locale 1.0.2, use of GPS is now implicitly configurable. As long as ALL location conditions are greater than 2,000 meters in size, Locale will not attempt to use GPS to determine location.

The free Day & Night Locale Plug-in is now available on the Android Market. This plug-in implements the original request of detecting sunrise/sunset based on time of year and latitude.

Locale 1.0 adds a new condition: the Orientation condition. The orientation condition supports detecting when the phone is lying face up or face down.

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

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:

A 3rd party developer has created a plug-in called “Locale Lockscreen Plug-in” that implements this feature request.

This plug-in can be found by choosing the “Get Plug-ins” menu item within Locale.

This is completed with the Locale Power Source Plug-in (thanks Chris!), which is available for free on the Android Market.

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.
