Find Friends accuracy inside Walmart

My wife and I use FF all the time. It’s easier than texting lots of the time for instance if I just need to know how long before she gets home for dinner I can just see where she’s at on the highway. But we have noticed that it also works fairly well inside Walmart for seeing what isle I am on. How can this be since I don’t think gps can work without a view of the sky? Just curious

iOS and iPadOS devices might use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to determine your location. GPS and cellular location are available on iPhone and iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) models.

Location Services uses GPS and Bluetooth (where they're available), along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspots and cellular towers to determine the approximate location of your device.
Apps won't use your location until they ask for your permission and you allow permission.
