Technical Questions for a LBS Game: Disabling System Gestures, Spatial Mapping & Remote Control API

Hello, I'm looking to create a multi-user, large-scale, location-based (offline) game and have a few questions:

1. Is there a way to disable system-level gestures to prevent players from accidentally exiting the application and returning to the home screen during gameplay?

2. Is there a method for scanning a large physical space (approximately 10x10 meters) to generate a persistent and shareable map file?

3. Is it possible to enable or provide some control API? We need an interface that allows a central controller to remotely start and stop the application on all devices, as well as manage the installation and updating of game content.
