   For me, it says somewhere in Madrid, where I guess the offices of my   
   current ISP are registered, which happens to be 4 Km of my actual location.   
      
   But google maps locates me much more accurately, and I am not logged in.   
      
   I did the experiment of starting Firefox under a new user, and google   
   maps is off, it goes to the centre of Madrid. On my normal user (same   
   laptop), its is quite accurate, it goes to my neighbourhood. So it must   
   be using some other hints. Not the WiFi, though.
