I've bought a new Wi-Fi router after Google has stopped collecting Wi-Fi data in Germany, this router is approx. four weeks old and isn't in the database.<br>
<br>
There is one Android device in our household (proudly it isn't my), so this means:<br>
<br>
1) Not every device is talking to Google.<br>
2) The database is four or more weeks old.<br>
<br>
My Suggestion: Change the MAC Address of your Wi-Fi router; best with a real from the database, from the other side of Dundee and Google and the users are confused.<br>
