I have doubts about it, and I guess the AP MAC should work too, but
after reading the plazes.com API documentation I've got the impression
that the regular case for most of Plazer tools is to map the default
gateway MAC address, instead of the Access Point. I think it would be
possible to add places when connected through wired networks, for
instance.

http://plazes.com/api/docs

"If you know the network machine address of your subnet’s gateway, you
can use this to find Plazes that have previously been created with the
Plazer. mac_address should look something like: ff:23:50:1c:34:60"
