Is it possible in Android Google maps to change default location from South Africa to Australia?

Solution
Google Maps will show the user's current location if you ask for it.
You can also manually set the "default" location by moving the map to give a particular location.
CameraUpdate point = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(new LatLng(53, 2));
// moves camera to coordinates
map.moveCamera(point);
// animates camera to coordinates
map.animateCamera(point);
Best to use `moveCamera` rather than `animateCamera` for the default position.
The reason you are seeing South Africa is because the map defaults to `(0,0)` when initialised without any extra data, so it doesn't have somewhere to point to other than it's default. `(0,0)` happens to be near Africa.
Use `moveCamera` before the map is shown to the user and it will be showing wherever you have selected by default.
Problem
I want to confirm one thing in Google maps that is why Google maps always showing South Africa as default location... Can't we change Australia as Default one. If GPRS enabled I can trace the current location if not i want to show Sidney in Australia . Is it possible ???
