We should support robots that operate in different environments by detecting their location via GPS from the Android device and then loading the corresponding map (issue #44). While not perfect, the GPS location should be accurate enough to distinguish between Willow Garage, Google, and home for example. This makes moving the robot around and conducting demos more seamless.
As indoor location signals improve it may even help with picking the right map within the same large building by know the floor and general location.
