Another problem is that "maps" change quite often due to road construction, detours or whatever.

When you enable that positioning on your smartphone, it sends a list of MAC/WiFi entities with reception quality to the central server. The server looks up where you are based on that data, but at the same time updates its lists: some routers have disappeared (people moved) and some were added. Crowdsourcing at its best.
