The benefit of Locale is that it uses lots of advanced technology to combine data from many different sources of location data. It doesn’t make sense to show what each source of location data says, as that gives an inaccurate view of how Locale is working.

To see where Locale currently thinks you are, please follow the instructions in our FAQ at www.twofortyfouram.com/support.html and to improve location accuracy you can use the Wi-Fi location training feature introduced in Locale 1.2.

Android 2.0 finally adds APIs that would allow apps like Locale to implement a “Bluetooth Condition.” If this were implemented, it would only be available on Android 2.0 phones.

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:
