- mirimir 7y agoYes, but that's just about being tracked by the WiFi AP itself. But as I understand it, being tracked by apps on your device doesn't depend on the AP having monitor mode capability. APs get geolocated primarily by GPS-capable smartphones. And then devices get geolocated based on proximity to such APs. Basically, through latency-based triangulation.
