I have a Samsung S3 mini.
I have wifi switched off when not using it, ditto for mobile data and GPS service.
Yet the thing still seems to know where I am. So switching off the GPS doesn't really switch this feature off?
When at home, on wifi, our (3) laptops appear to be located near Brussels (which is where my provider is located and their servers) BUT when I switch the wifi of my phone on, my phone knows exactly where I am. So it's the phone, not the wifi that 'knows'. And before you ask, the GPS and mobile data are on OFF when I'm on wifi...
