As you have thrown claims around that you refuse to substanciate in any way 
since forever I'm not going to believe the above either.

And neither is, as always, yours.   Your point ?

Yep.  Which is rather useless as long as you have no clue who you are 
targetting/tracking.

Yes. And than you have identified a random household.  Thats as meaningless 
as the above.

Kiddo, come back when you figure out how you can identify a *specific* 
person / household from whats in that database.  *Than* you have something 
to complain about.

:-) And what does that "network assistance" look like ?   Riddle me dat 
batman.

Kiddo, have you *ever* stopped to think about why Apple would have spend 
money to create that database you have been free to access and now 
complaining about ?   What's is purpose ?   Can you answer me that ?

No, I don't think so.

And something else to think about : You have tracked the movement of a BSSID 
in real-time.  Where do those updated coordinates come from ?  Who / what is 
providing them ?
