Changelog

- simple waypoints sorting - by (natural) order, by name and by distance (from current position on map)
- wpt picture taking improved for recent devices (-> higher resolutions, autofocus; snapshot format & resolution re-adjustement required in configuration); still no preview however
- added support for wav and mp3 sound formats ("wpt-reached" sound etc; use proper file extension)
- added support for "australian" geocaching GPX extension
- CMS: added {pace} and {wpt-img}
- Tracks available in navigation menu
- GPX: using locatime in timestamps - let me know what you think about it, can revert it back to gmt in the next version; for tool authors: simplified extensions schema (nmea:rmc and nmeadr merged into nmea); multiple links support (for navigation guides)
- S60 backlight "fix" (?... newer version of TrekBuddyService is required for correct operation)

Change-log

- fixed field notes file encoding, timestamp is editable

- fixed groundspeak cache info parsing
- fixed StringOutOfBoundsException in CMS
- improved taking photos by using autofocus and autoflash (if supported)
- reduced power consumption on Android
- enhanced bluetooth location provider to fallback to manually paired devices when none is found during discovery process (this helped me on Samsung S5230, but it neeeds one more trick - see next line)
- new option Settings->Location->address fix - this option helped me on Samsung S5230 with connecting to GPS, because the phone reports incorrect bluetooth address for cached device (shown as "PREKNOWN" in TB)
- new option Settings->Misc->lowmem I/O helped me avoid OutOfMemory errors with larger tar-ed maps on Samsung S5230, but it makes map browsing slower, I'd recommend using unpacked maps on this device
- new option Settings->Location->time fix as a tweak for broken internal GPS when it reports time 1970-01-01 (report on some LG Arenas)
