Interesting article shared with me about the way Wi-Fi location services work.

How do I opt my access point out of Google Location services?
To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with “_nomap.” For example, if your SSID is “12345,” you would change it to “12345_nomap.”
And just like robots.txt, I’m sure they will totally honor this in perpetuity

Microsoft has an additional requirement where “_optout” has to be somewhere in the SSID (not necessarily at the end). This was detailed in a now deleted support post.
So now my SSID has to be myname_nomap_optout_dontscan_ffswhy_fuckoffanddie?
