   Hi Poutnik,   
   The map itself is different from the location, as you noted, but they are   
   interconnected because we are talking about the "OK MAPS" download   
   mechanism to obtain *offline* map data.   
      
   That offline map data may contain location data, such as the BSSID:location   
   pair for every access point that many (most?) Android phones (not mine!)   
   report to Google every minute of every day.   
      
   Hence, the location data is interrelated with the map data *if* Google   
   stores that location data *inside* the *offline* map data.   
      
   Nobody seems to know (and yet, nospam always alludes to being an omnipotent   
   genius but he can't tell you or he'd have to shoot you) if the   
   BSSID:location data is stored *inside* of the offline "OK MAPS" downloaded   
   map data.
