So my unit either has a GPS, or it is possessed. I am happy either way
I think it's probably using the wireless networks around you. Try loading Maps with the WiFi (in an area where the map tiles are cached, so you won't need to download them) disabled, preferably after a clean reboot (to make sure there is no leftover information) and see if it tracks you. I'm curious...
