Arrow pointing to destination and compass indicating North

GetBack GPS for Android v0.3 is now available. It adds a realtime compass and detects your travel direction. This way the arrow pointing to your destination will still point in the right direction, even when travelling backwards.
And there are some small UI improvements.

The app is now also available in Danish, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese and French. A big thanks to the translators and supporting services!

A complete list of features and available languages is available on the website.
