If I have a proper precise (GPS based) location (lat&long) in a scope
from SearchMetadata.location().latitude()|longitude(), and then disable
Location indicator > Location detection OR GPS, then reenable it and
refresh the scope, I never get a precise location back. I am stuck with
geo IP derived location.

To demo this, I wrote a simple scope that merely gets the lat and long
and logs it, or a message if ! has_location().

Here's the relevant code:
 
void Query::run(us::SearchReplyProxy const& reply)
{
    if (!metadata_.has_location())
    {   
        qDebug() << "LOCTEST: no location: " + QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString();
        return;
    }   
    try{
        auto lat = metadata_.location().latitude();
        auto lng = metadata_.location().longitude();
        qDebug() << "LOCTEST: lat long: " + QString::number(lat) + " " + QString::number(lng) + " " + QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString();
    } catch(unity::scopes::NotFoundException &e) {
        qWarning() << "==== Warning: Could not get location.";
    }   
}

Query::Query(const us::CannedQuery &query, const us::SearchMetadata & metadata, const QVariant accessToken, QString const& cacheDir_) :
    SearchQueryBase(query, metadata),
    metadata_(metadata),
    cannedQuery(query),
    query_(query.query_string()),
    accessToken_(accessToken),
    cacheDir_(cacheDir_)
{

}

Here are the results from scope-registry log grepped with LOCTEST.

ACTION: Wait a while

COMMENT: still geo IP based. So, all location indicator settings are on,
location is enabled in scope, but still: geo IP.

I don't know whether this is a problem with the scope framework using a
stale location in this case or if it is an underlying problem with the
location service not understanding that it was re enabled, getting a new
location, and refreshing unity...
