So today I went to a tattoo convention at the Cow Palace in the SF area (Brisbane or Mountain View??) and I picked up wifi from an access point coming some else's iPhone. (I didn't even know you could do that!) well anyway, to make the long story short, I had a gps glitch and it told me my current location was in Northern Oakland. I have turf in hopping range of it already. So what I wanted to know was, do you guys think I should delete that turf ("Tattoo Convention") because of a gps issue, or should it be direguarded because I have turf so close to it already?

I will most likely delete it anyways but I just thought that was so weird how it glitched me to an area I'm already in.

Ohh and one thing I forgot to mention to nick was that when I first looked at the turf map at the real location, it told me I was in te middle of the Atlantic ocean next to western Africa!!!

Usually only possible to use some1 elses wifi through there phone is done by Internet tethering which can only be done by a jailbroken iPhone basically u create ur own wifi hotspot using ur phone thus u can connect up to 4-8 devices to it depending on the program

Yeah it was some tattoo booth out of the south bay who I picked it up from. And then when he moved out of range, I found someone with a droid giving wifi haha
