Bug Description

Currently I can't set my location manually for any scope. They get it somehow automatically, most of the time wrongly. It would be nice if a user could somehow select the location he/she wants.

------ UX Comment ------

This will be soon possible with the 'Location filter widget' - currently under development. For further information please refer to the Filter wisgets in Scopes design specification: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xWNpO3UUdmVak0NZ63yaDTF8Il0P_UF96Y2eOiBVBz0/edit

I'd really like to see this as I don't like giving apps/scopes access to my current location via GPS. Therefore, I cannot use any location based scopes.

However, it may even be useful even if you do give them access. Here are some examples

1) Checking for the weather in your home town using the weather scope while you're in another city
2) Checking for points of interest using the Nearby scope while you are still on the train

I added the Ubuntu UX project as this would probably need design input.
