> 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."
That's annoying, but I don't actually care, that much. My access points are locked down about as well as possible, and having them in there actually helps to improve map accuracy. I just switched ISPs, and I'm currently getting ads that think I'm in New Jersey. As soon as my new router gets re-mapped, I'll be getting ads that make it seem as if stock photo models are local lawyers.
Anyone that really wants to get into my access points could probably do so, but I also have a few layers of security (multiple routers of different manufacture), as well as fixed MAC addresses (which is a pain for the iOS devices).
Also, I'm surrounded by neighbors that have much lower-hanging fruit.
