Glider graphic points wrong direction in Europe #3

thanks a lot for this software. I already thought about programmering something like this myself although I'm not very good at java. But then I found this :)

I've been testing it at home on my HTC Desire but haven't made any flight with it yet. I still need to figure out how to attach my Phone to my hangglider.

Also I found an error. Both the waypoint arrow in the overview screen and the paper plane in the map screen seem to be pointing in the wrong directions. The paper plane has west and east mixed. When I point my phone west the paper plane points east and vice versa. North and south are almost ok though. Another small issue is that the plane reacts slow to change in the position of the device.

The waypoint arrow is pointing SSW. While the waypoint I selected is ENE from where I am.

For testing I'm using it while it isn't recording a flight because I'm at home. I'll give it a try in the car to see if that fixes the problem.

I hope this helps. If you need any more info please ask.
