They might have used scanned wireless networks for location correlation along with the GPS info in areas where GPS data corrupts or has very low singnal (SNR) . The android based phones do that from the G1 I think.
"Google Inc said its fleet of cars responsible for photographing streets around the world have for several years accidentally collected personal information -- which a security expert said could include email messages and passwords -- sent by consumers over wireless networks....Google did not specify what kind of data the high-tech cars collected, but a security expert said that email content and passwords for many users, as well as general Web surfing activity, could easily have been caught in Google's dragnet."
