Allow logging in without setting a position
This is equivalent to logging in using the official game client while the “GPS signal not found” message displays.
See https://github.com/tejado/pgoapi/pull/142#issuecomment-238195792.
I am strongly for merging this pull request. My app also does not need the location, and as the Twitch/Niantic Guidelines indicated GPS Spoofing is seen as a major problem, while just using the api for informational use is fine.
+1 need this feature!
I don't think this should be part of the pgoapi repo. As it currently stands, the signature field that is included in the newer version of the repo needs the location as part of the signature. The signature can, and most reasonably, be activated for all calls going forward, making this change unnecessary. You can just sub-class pgoapi and override your own call statments if you need this functionality in your project.

That's not how it works, that's not how any of this works.
I don't think they treat users making get_inventory calls without location spoof the same as people getting map_objects and catching Pokemon with spoofed Location. Time will tell, and im sure since you're not working for Niantic you don't know as well how any of it works. Its as good speculation as any.
Don't spread fud about it being fine when you are speculating as well.

Would you mind sharing an quick code example of that? Thanks.
