Q: Forgot how to setup Find Me

Can someone refresh me as to how to setup "Find Me" for my new MBA? When I run the app on my iPhone, it shows the current location of my ...

iPhone

iPad

MBP

Since "Find Me" seems to work fine for my MBP, I would think it also would work with my MBA. I assume it's using some kind of triangulation since the MBP doesn't include GPS. Or am I missing something here?

MB Pro 15-21.5 iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), -iPad2 32G IT 8G-IP 4 32G-Nano 16G

Thanks. I guess I had a "senior" moment. So, how accurate is "Find Me" re a MBP or a MBA since they do not have GPS. At home, the computers show the exact position, but I'm wondering if that accuracy is because my iPhone is almost next to the MBP and the MBA.

It locates by WiFi connection, not GPS.
