Google will determine and store the location of any Wi-Fi access point whose SSID (name) does not end with "_nomap". (support.google.com)

I shouldn't have to do this, plus google says other services may require different naming scheme.

"Each Location service provider operates independently. Other providers can see the SSID method of opting out. We encourage other providers to respect the "_nomap" tag as a way to opt out from inclusion in a Location server"
