So my unit either has a GPS, or it is possessed. I am happy either way

Sorry, no GPS chip in any of the eDGes.

What you are seeing the results of Google slurping information about WiFi units that are within range of any GPS equipped phone and so getting very good location information as to where the WiFi unit is. In fact they have our public WiFi unit pinpointed to within 3 metres and our private encrypted one to within 10 metres.
