This could be big. Remember that Mozilla Location Services does not provide Wi-Fi data download due to "privacy concerns" (Which is BS in my opinion). But with data downloads available, one can develop off-line location services that could very well complement one of our "selling points", that is full off-line operation. I wonder whether it's very hard to hack into location services of Android to seed GPS location with this data for faster fix (assuming root is available).
