New HandMap for Palm Release - v5.1

A new version of our HandMap for Palm software is now on our web site. This
is now our main release version. If you are using any older versions we
recommend you upgrade to this version. Here are the highlights :-
a.. When using a Bluetooth GPS it will now remember the device last
connected and reconnect without discovery. Choose the BT Discover setting to
force a discovery.
b.. Added sorting of maps on map list screen by name, ID, size, East-West,
North-South
c.. Buffered drawing of sprites for smoother display - especially
flashing/selected objects
d.. Temporary databases deleted on exit to save memory
e.. Plus many bug fixes from the 5.0 release

New HandMap for PocketPC Release
A new release of HandMap for PocketPC is now available on our web site. The
GPS Plugin now has port speed setting to allow for non-standard GPS
receivers. HandMap and the GPS receiver will now save the key at the time it
is entered instead of at program exit in case the PocketPC were to crash for
any reason.
