Add functionality to show filters #8

I'm not sure of the best way to do this, maybe have a filter button on the home page that just has a few check boxes? Should probably include options for:

1) All indoors/outdoors 2) Security Restrictions 3) Use underground tunnels or not 4) Anything else I'm not thinking of?

@NicholasBrinkel there's probably a few ways to handle this, and it kind of depends on how we want the user flows in the app to work. If I understand right, I think a lot of these will be fairly independent.

1 and 3 would probably fall under something kind of like what Google Maps does for "Avoid Tolls", "Avoid Highways", etc. I'm assuming that the option we want to offer is whether or not to route through the outdoor pathways, and the tunnels.

For 2, I don't think of this as a filter. More of a popup if you try to navigate somewhere, and maybe a clearly visible UX cue when viewing conference room/desk/location details. In the scope of the demo app, it would just be applied to anything on the CT floor.

For 4, when you are searching or looking at the main map we should probably allow a "Show currently open" or similar option. I know we currently have a searchable mapview as the main screen of the app, but I'm not sure how we want to display points of interest, food, etc.

It's probably best not to try to show everything on the main map screen at once. I think we already have tabs, so we could control what POIs/Map Pins appear based on that (or the search results).

I was on vacation this week, but just let me know how I can help.
