geobeagle only uses 50% of screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install geobeagle and load some caches
2.  Open geobeagle.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
List of nearby caches should displayed on full screen.
What I see is the list of caches, but only on left half of screen. Right half 
contains empty box.
See screenshot.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
29-5-2011

Please provide any additional information below.
Maybe android 4 problem? Happens to others as well, see reviews.

This started when I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich on the EVO 3D.

currently it looks like it is showing the compass in the empty box.
the list of caches is unreadeable because there's no room for the text so the 
characters fall over eachother.

I suspect the decision to show this compass is either based on operating system 
version (ICS or higher) or on the resolution of the screen.

If some people want to keep this feature, we could make it a config option to 
enable/disable it.

I found the code causing this. I am trying to build an apk which doesn't use 
this screen layout as quickfix/temporary workaround.

When I am succesful, I will share the apk here.

here's a patch that removes the compass fragment for android 4+.
for honeycomb/android3 the compass still is there.
this path works for me on my Samsung Galaxy s3 4.1.1.

I've contacted the owners of GeoBeagle on how to proceed with the patch.

What I would expect is to have the screen split in two with the compass on one 
side and the cache list on the other only in landscape mode, if I turn my phone 
to portrait orientation, then I would want only the cache list.
