Minor changes and updates:

Many more features coming soon... As always, feel free to get in touch with suggestions/bug reports (email link is in the app), and if you like the app please consider writing a review in the store.
5.2.2
2014-11-04
Fixed a bug that occurred when moving waypoints to a different overlay. If the move was cancelled, the waypoints would disappear. This no longer occurs, and a "recover orphan waypoints" button has been added at the bottom of the settings screen. Tapping the button will let you recover waypoints that disappeared during a move.
5.2.0
2014-10-04
The location and navigate screens can now be fully customized.
I had a lot of emails requesting various tweaks to these screens, so to keep everyone happy you can now build them yourself:
- Choose the data type, colour, size and various formatting options for each element on the screen.
- Want to display location in latitude and longitude alongside MGRS coordinates? No problem!
- Some new data types like speed, heading also added - expect many more to come in the future.
Minor bugfixes and iOS 8 support:
- app now asks for correct location permissions - MilGPS only uses your location while it is running so it should only ask for that permission now
- support for larger screen sizes on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- temporarily removed "open in" functionality for GPX export, it will be returning soon
- made it more obvious when points are dragged on the map
