You don't even have to have wifi enabled, even when Wi-Fi is OFF it will still scan for SSIDs to use for location by default.

You have to disable an obscure setting to get it to stop this behavior.

But even after the device has detected the (B)SSID, you have to enable either Wi-Fi or your mobile data connection for the device to communicate with Google's servers. Still, just as worrisome.
