POST 
/location/wifi

Alternative: POST /location/ground-fix (GetLocationFromCellsOrWifiNetworks) also covers this use case. Get location based on nearby Wi-Fi networks. At least two access points with valid MAC addresses are required. An empty accessPoints array is treated the same as an omitted field.
