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.

Wow, yer a smart cookie!! Turns out that with both BT and WIFI off, it was still showing last location. Turned on BT, no difference. Turned off BT and WIFI on, it sync'd up right away.
At work, it was tracking me walking across the property (we have a big facility) .. must have been my phone talking to the PE by WIFI .. in any case, since I always carry my cellphone, the combo makes a fine 7" GPS, still really cool!!!
