Not sure why you shared those url's with me... they say exactly what I said.

Gears doesn't automatically detect you, you have to approve it each time... which would again put something on your PC/device that has the ability to figure out your location.

It's not anyone's wifi doing this at any level, it's technology/software behind the wifi's that do it.
