How Does Google Locate You?
A friend from the Bay Area is staying with me.
He was using his laptop (Thinkpad, no GPS, no cellular modem) on my WiFi network (Apple airport) to browse the Internet (via Comcast cable Internet).
He goes to Google Maps and the application locates him to within 50-100 feet. The exact street corner where we are.
So the question is: how does Google know where he is located?
