Interesting article shared with me about the way Wi-Fi location services work.

How do I opt my access point out of Google Location services?
To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with “_nomap.” For example, if your SSID is “12345,” you would change it to “12345_nomap.”
And remember: this won’t work with “hidden” SSIDs.
From what I recall hidden SSIDs will always be used for location services.
