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

** Description changed:

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