In recent times, it also includes geo-location information, including the (very) precise location of your home wifi network.<br>
<br>
This is real funny, I once made experiment with the later: while traveling, configured an AP with the same SSID that I have at home. When asked to locate me on the map, Google "found" me at my home location, even if I was few hundred km away from there.<br>

I'm a bit surprised they are doing it on the SSID of the APs, not the MAC address. (You didn't say if your travelling AP was the same as the one you used to have at home).<br>

Different device and model, although the same manufacturer so MAC address is similar. It is either poor mapping algorithm (Google also makes the weird assumption that they know where particular IP address/network is geo-located -- which with modern networking is naive assumption) or because my home SSID for a long time was available on only one location, it was marked as 'unique' (as long as my mobile version of it is not on all the time, their surveillance equipment has no chance to map it's location anyway). But all this is technology and it will improve....<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
