GPS doesn't work that way. You don't receive your coordinates from the network, so it can't possibly send you the coordinates for someone else. The GPS unit uses the signals from the visible satellites and determines your position on the Earth, BB Maps uses this info to ask the server to download the maps for the area around your current location. If you're way out to lunch, it would suggest to me that your GPS doesn't have a lock and BB Maps is being fed incorrect information, and therefore asking the server for incorrect map data.
