No follow up required or expected. FYI geo-location fans. While sitting on a toilet in a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, US of A, I chanced to log-on to Facebook from my Kindle, and the lap-top in the on the desk in another room, Facebook alerted that I had logged on from Caracas, Venezuela. I have not checked--we might be in the same time-zone.

That's OK. I purchased a WAP from someone in Virginia and now I can't get the Google App on my phone to admit that I'm still at home and not in Broad Run. If anyone has any idea how to "unglue" a MAC address from an incorrect location in the guts of Google (I've done the skyhook thing http://www.skyhookwireless.com/submit-access-point), please let me know (this is an invitation for a followup). AlanC -- When I do still catch the odd glimpse, it's peripheral; mere fragments of mad-doctor chrome, confining themselves to the corner of the eye.
Turn on all the google tracking bugs on the phone and get a GPS fix outside. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/4715/how-may-i-submit-a-wifi-hots... On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 4:14 PM, Alan Clegg <alan@clegg.com> wrote:
