I know satellites can make out cities not even the visible spectrum satellites.

Now that I think about it there are lots of wireless devices. If you have a living room TV you could block that. Obvious mesh network nodes can have their signal blocked. Also your phone can move closer too and further away from wireless router

Yeah I could see it if you have enough data you could at least check node proximity, but floor plan mapping might be different
