   Recently, I noticed that, on a WiFi-only tablet, the Google Map App was   
   "tracking" me while on the road, where the WiFi-only tablet definitely does   
   not have a GPS chip nor does it have a cellular capability.

   Since this was a surprise to me that a WiFi-only tablet could "route" on   
   top of an offline (aka "OK MAPS") google map while driving on the road, I   
   was telling someone about it, who asked this question:   
      
   Q: Is Google using previously stored WiFi AP SSIDs in the offline maps to   
   locate your position, or, is the tablet's Wi-Fi automatically connecting to   
   open APs, and hence giving away the location by that method?
