The tenant admin configures that mapping. They can also configure whether the data can be exposed to users outside of the organization. There’s no magic here.
Given that not every device has built in GPS, it sounds like the Network Team is going to have to provide the locations of APs for that to work.
Curious how Teams will resolve that. If you're on your phone using a VPN back to your home network will it know or show you as at home? What happens if you have multiple APs at home?
There are public databases of APs. Google reportedly used their Android users to sniff APs (?), and used StreetView vehicles to wardrive. MS can surely pin many APs to user's PII and locations just on the data they already have?
Perhaps it can be derived indirectly, if you have all global positions in the area and can calculate back, with some uncertainty, who is where and when and how.
It's like in Minority Report. Though with not perfect accuracy yet.

Pretty sure that's how it works across all phones. I know that's how Apple gets their location services database at least.

Yeah, you need to add the BSSID of all APs. VPN does not matter the OS will have to provide access to this info.
