@ gokul das it's a wild guess on what is wifi geolocation. this technique is effective if a particular spot is covered by three or more wifi base stations and the position of the these base stations are fixed and known.
a wifi receiver at the position of interest can calculate info regarding signal strength from the reference locations. The signal strenght in turn has info regarding the distance and then based on triangulation, position can be claculated.
