Locating via WiFi location would be unreliable in Australia, much more reliable in the US. It would likely work on the location of IP addresses, which in the US are quite location specific but in Australia are not so. As I understand it.


Roger.
Don't rely on WiFi location at all. It is easy for it to get it wrong as it is based on the SSID associated to a location with other SSIDs. Case in point, I carry a WiFi router when I travel, if I stay too long in one location Google associates my SSID with location, when I move to another country, google still thinks my SSID is still in Colorado.
