   I don't know if Google saves the SSID/MAC of a cellphone hotspot,   
   but I've known people to have them when I go to Starbucks.   
      
   So, people do it (one, I remember, was a friend who calls his "Bills Pocket   
   AP",   
   for example).   
      
   So, people do it.   
   The question is whether Google stores it.   
   I suspect they store *everything* they can, so, I wouldn't put it past them.
