tangoGPS 0.9.5 is out

[Fernando Martins]

Great, thanks! I didn't realise the file had been replaced and I just 
assumed it was correct.

BTW, I haven't seen it mentioned but I had a problem with disappearing 
tiles, specifically at zoom level 14 and in my position, and now it is 
working well.

Also my thanks to the author for such a nice app! GPS was my third 
reason to buy OM. Now it's only missing a navigation guide with voice.

Cheers,
Fernando
