Essentially I think you need a 'home' location which the robot can

should be, then drive around in a spiral till you find it, then
reset your co-ordinates.

While we're talking about programming rovers, could someone give me
an example of a 'spiral drive around behavior' in either RCX Code
(v1.5) or Gordon's Brick Programmer? Or how about code with two
rotation sensors attached to the differential-drive robot's wheels
which drive straight forward a certain # of clicks,clears the count,
turns left 90 deg., clears the count, goes forward a little bit more,
clears again, then turns right 90 deg.?

Try this (leJos):

import josx.platform.rcx.*;
import josx.util.*;
import josx.robotics.Navigator;

public class Test
{
    public static void main (String[] arg)
throws Exception
    {
int size = 100;

Navigator nav = new
    RotationNavigator( ( float)8.5,  // wheel diameter in cm
       ( float)10.5, // track in cm
       ( float)5.0); // gearing ratio between
     // wheel and rotation sensor

nav.gotoPoint( size, 0);
nav.gotoPoint( size, size);
nav.gotoAngle( 0);

nav.stop();

System.exit( 0);
     }
}
