3 quick Tasker questions

Hi, I'm thinking of getting tasker but just wanted to make sure I can do the following before I do:

1. Have a profile so that if the phone is on charge and there is a headset / speakers plugged in the screen timeout turns off (screen will always be on) and the screen lock turns off (in case i turn the screen off manually)

2. Can you set it to do something based on location worked out by mobile network alone (I know this would be less accurate than using GPS but it would save on battery...)

3. If I have a profile that scans for particular wifi networks does this have much of an impact on battery life (wifi turning on and off all the time to check for the network)? (I may be misunderstanding how it works so appologies if this is a daft question).

Many thanks

Matt

Yes, you can have multiple contexts (conditions) per profile.

Can you set it to do something based on location worked out by mobile network alone (I know this would be less accurate than using GPS but it would save on battery...)
Read "Location without tears" on the Tasker site.
