I see now, thanks.
Though I believe that if Google is the adversary, they have ways (only a guess, but some kind of correlation between GPS location on mobile while connected to Wi-Fi and http requests could be one) that make the "wardriving database" unneeded, I mean, there should be a constant updating of this database, or it would turn out pretty much obsolete soon.

The database may have originally been filled by wardriving, but it can be updated by their distributed agents (phones with location services turned on).
