I was in a loosely populated suburb.
Either my wireless access point had a static IP, or if dynamic, it had not changed since the last time google's van full of spy electronics drove by.
- justincormack 11y agoThey dont need to drive past any more - phones with GPS are constantly mapping wifi locations and adjusting the map.
- nl 11y agoThe Google WiFi mapping project would get the SSID, but not the IP address. If someone connected from that WiFi connection point with location services enabled then that would allow the two to be correlated.
- MichaelCrawford 11y agoWhile I keep location services disabled, I expect that my housemate at the time had them enabled. She spent much of her day online; that would enable Google and friends to keep up to date with our access point's dynamic IP.
