repeated queries of the same search terms, 
repeated queries of a "from: location" in a map direction scenario, etc.
There are many ways to inferred a location from a user. 

The location is also a strong identifier for scoping the profiling of someone. For example, when you tie statistics about type of residents in certain areas of the city, be in terms of resources levels, religious beliefs, races, countries of origins, etc. This gives more information about the type of consumers you might reach.
