Something similar happened to me. I moved maybe 5 blocks a couple years ago and for the first couple of weeks my location-based stuff would have trouble deciding where I was. Eventually the combination of GPS and cellular triangulation must've forced the SSID database to update but for a little while it was a minor annoyance.
- Outdoorsman 11y agoI've lived on the same 200 acres for 22 years...remote, rustic...you cannot GPS me (find me) even if I give you the state, county, and mailing address...G-maps has roads and features mislabeled all around me...at one point part of the land I live on was labeled "Public Use", meaning open to hunters...that's the only thing I ever bothered to get changed...I sort of like things the way they are... My point is, anything is possible...tech (especially apps) is still very new, despite what we think we coders think we've accomplished... Would like to know how long they've lived in that house...don't think the article provided that info... Spoofed IP > wifi network improperly linked, or worse, aggregated > lying in a database somewhere as a reference point...just a possibility...
