>But this mode just allows you to trace device via IP geolocation since macbook never had GPS module like iphones do, so this geolocation is not accurate enough and not useful. You will just see the city or district located from ISP.

That's not quite true. IIRC, even without a GPS module, macOS sends a list of nearby WiFi APs to the geolocation API, which usually allows for a pretty accurate response (the same you'd get on an iOS device indoors without GPS reception)



But I wan't to know the exact list of BSSID/SSID and RSSI of each so I can go to this place and find device by measure signal level of wifi access points.


This is exactly what the API uses to triangulate your position.
