We changed a number of important things in this version:
* Ship lengths are now reflected in the ship icon on the map (optional)
* Bug fix that makes the app load the last used part of the map.
* Ship icons now points in the heading direction (i.e. the direction of the stern compared to geographical north). If heading is not received the icon will show the direction of the course - this is often the case with sailing boats.
* Course pointers are fixed in this version. They show where the ship will be in 15 minutes if it continues along the existing course and speed. Course is the actual direction the ship is moving over ground (so it includes wind and water forces).
* Base stations in the AIS system are now shown with an antenna symbol - rather than a "Not Available" icon that confused our users (with good reason).
* We put all of the help videos in the app on Youtube.com and shows them from there in order to reduce the size of our binary.
