    The warehouses in our package sample data are all located in the San Francisco area. If you’re testing this from another location, be sure to add a warehouse located within 20 miles. To add a new warehouse, choose Warehouse from the Force.com app menu, click the Warehouses tab, and then click New in the Recent Warehouses section.

That’s it! You can see how easy it is to make standard pages and tabs available to your mobile users.
