So the question morphs to:
How to we make sure ZERO Wi-Fi access point data is utilized
when precise location is turned on with Google Location Accuracy?

 
I'm wondering if carrying a Wi-Fi access point around with you might
offer some benefits.  Most (not all) Wi-Fi protocols allow only allow

I don't think so. Because this access point can be seen by *other*
devices which may report its current position. This is how Google learns
the positions of Wi-Fi access points anyway.

To get info about what an AP (access point) can hear, dumping the ARP
(address resolution protocol) table or collecting broadcasts seems
like likely methods.  There are various ways to limit the scope of the
ARP table.  The easiest way is to reduce the number of entries in the
table one entry and assign a static ARP entry.  Only one pre-specified
device can connect.  Another AP might be able to hear broadcasts from
the pocket AP, but I suspect that it will not add ARP table entries
for devices which cannot connect.  This needs to be tested (not by
me).

Jitsi meeting beckons.  Later...
