Can my car be a location based context?

[devan]

Greetings to all. 

Although I've used MLO since the pocket PC, I have just started using location based contexts in earnest.  

I have set the locations of my home and work appropriately and the MLO todo widget updates my todo tasks dynamically.  Brilliant!

One of my most used context is @town.  This refers to errands I can do while I am neither  @work nor @home.  How can I configure the widget so that when I am either in my car, or not in either work at home, to list those tasks designated as @town?

Alternatively, can I assign a task state if my car's bluetooth or wifi is recognized?

Thanks,

Devan

Well, Context was of course intended to be locations or whatever already (it just has to be switched by hand when you want to see only that context) so the only difference with the new kind of context called "location based" is if the device running MLO has it's own GPS and MLO has the API to ask it so it can automatically switch.

If your device cannot provide GPS location to the MLO app then we couldn't do anything about that because the phone isn't going to have an API for asking the car what coordinates you've gone to.

If @town doesn't actually mean a specific GPS location, that's another problem you would have to just tell MLO to switch to the context you want to see (I.e could not be location based but the old fashioned way).

Something or other on my phone unlocks if it can see my home computer or my car via bluetooth, if neither is visible then it waits to see my fingerprint. I understand that this is not the same thing as what MLO location based contexts are supposed to do, but it's an interesting suggestion. I definitely have contexts that should be open any time I'm in my car, irrespective of what the current location of the car might be.
