I have a similar issue (I think it's similar) - see http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/11362-abwifi-clear-location-cache.html alwaysbusy doesn't seem to respond to Twitter posts so I can't get support with his library. I might have to write my own. Upvote 0

Your wifi will detect the name of all routers around. These and there coordinates are in Google's huge database (or Apple's). So if you are not near your wifi you would need a 3G connection to receive the coordinates of the closest router. I tested this. When I drove with GPS disabled but 3G on I always get quite exact coordinates in well populated areas. When I put 3G off - no new data anymore. 3G on - data keeps coming. iPhones and Android phones building vast databases for Google and Apple | Technology | The Guardian Rolf Upvote 0
