1.09

see version 1.10 for changes

1.08

improved memory management, should be better on the Samsung Galaxy tab and other Honeycomb devices with 1280 x 800 resolution screens.
improved ECW support.
- added zooms down to 1% (but very slow to redraw)
- added low resolution intermediate images for faster map drawing. A low resolution map image is displayed first, followed by a medium resolution then the normal resolution.
fixed waypoint list issues with wrong waypoint being edited.
many other minor improvements and bug fixes.

1.07

fixed - if a map was loaded with a different datum the waypoints and tracks would move.
fixed - the "Track Tail" was being collected in the map datum - it is now collected in the WGS 84 datum. The Track Tail parts collected prior to this version may not plot in the correct location. This applies only to the track tail not to tracks logged to file.
fixed - user track drawing now draws all 25 loaded tracks.
added the ability to automatically reduce the number of track points in a track as it is loaded using a "smart" algorithm. This allows more user tracks to be loaded if needed. The track reduction factor can be configured in track configuration - the higher the number the more points are removed.
increased the total user track points which can be loaded to 30,000.
tracks can be automatically loaded when OziExplorer starts by listing the track file names in a file called "TrackLoadList.txt" - see the help for details.
fixed - speed unit "knots" not being remembered.
changed map zooms from 100/80/60/40 to 100/75/50.
the OziExplorer screen page can be changed by swiping the finger quickly in either direction along the bottom of the screen. This was too sensitive and has been fixed.
add User grid "User (TM)" to position display.
other minor fixes.

1.06

Added geoid correction for GPS altitude.
Added ability to specify location for Map File and Data File paths.
Added MGRS to list of position formats for coordinate position display.
Moved configuration files to main memory so the sdcard can be used in other Android devices running OziExplorer. The configuration files are extremely small (only a few hundred bytes).
Added option to restore configuration to defaults.
Added option to download new version apk file to the sdcard. It can then be installed with an AppInstaller.
Fixed loading of maps with international characters in the name.
Fixed crash if splash screen is touched during start up.
many other minor fixes.
