GeoBeagle.1.4.15.apk should fix this (it's on the MarketPlace now). Can you try 
it and let me know?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I loaded 1.4.15 June 3, and have taken a few days to analyze the results.
During that time I have hunted 4 caches of harder difficulty.

I can confirm that the jittery compass pointer has been corrected. On the
flip side, I am having, in some instances, a lengthy wait for position fixes
to load. And have had occurrences of the compass pointer not displaying at
all. (Backing out and returning to the cache has fixed this. It is similar
to an issue I have had twice in the last 5 days, where initial activation of
the app has an extremely long delay (longer than my patience) to load
distance/directions to the cache list and sort by closest. Again, backing
out of the app and returning has always repaired this state.

Thanks for the jittery fix. That was most annoying.

Mike
