Support map fixing to real world coordinates

We need the ability for a user to fix a robot-generated map to real world coordniates. This could be done using the Google Maps API and dragging two corners of the map to align with a real world layer.

While not perfect with mapping errors it would help set the orientation for North and allow other features in the future such as pushing the map to Google Earth Builder or layering the real map in the UI when navigating.
