Looking at the map, assuming these models aren't for sale in Poland, Czech and so forth?

Maybe Skoda wasn't part of it, that's the most sold brand in Czechia and Slovakia

Is it identifiable? Can it be attributed to individual car level?

Shame on VW, but if you have a mobile phone...

Obviously... It's anti-libre software. It fails to include a libre software license text file, like GPL. We do not control it.

I don't get why they feel the need to keep it a secret.
Google takes GeoLocation data with maps and people happily use it. I even put reviews for places I go to.

If they were to just be above board about it while selling the stuff, they would have much happier customers and they could even get some legitimate use out of the data, like traffic status that Google does.

I'm not a fan of Google, but must say, they definitely managed to do better in this regard.
