   Despite nospam incessantly making the simplest of technical questions a   
   childish exercise in futility, the simple technical question remains...   
      
   1. Is Google using the geolocation of the *connected* WiFi access point?   
   2. Or is Google using the geolocation of many *unconnected* Wi-Fi APs?   
      
   NOTE: When you're on the road, you won't be connected to anything but   
   wide-open access points, and even then, the tablet might be set to ask   
   before connecting, so that's why the answer to the question matters.
