Windows 10: Windows Maps location

I am a bit baffled by the declaration that the windows 10 location is inaccurate because a system has no gps. I can search my location on google maps and bing maps and have my location show correctly however when searching with windows maps its not just a little over its 4 or 5 states away. So then begs the question if Windows maps is wrong because the system doesn't have a gps why is it that bing and google are not also incorrect?
