improvements: device compass, search history, zoom level

Trekarta is a great software, however a few things could improve its usability:

  • device compass showing in which direction we face on the map, like this: https://droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Google-Maps.jpg Especially useful in navigation mode.

  • search history: when searching by name of the feature or amenity, a little list showing past searches. is really useful.

  • starting maps in zoomed in state. Opening trekarta in a big city takes long time to load and zoom in to your location. If default zoom level would be adjustable in settings, or saved automatically on exit, it would load faster. Interestingly, zooming out is faster than zooming in, so why not start with zoomed in?

Hey everybody and of cause the developer itself, The app is great. Could it be possible to change colour and thickness of navigation path? It often unreadable, because of bright map. And maybe the power consumption is a little bit high. Thank you and best regards MoeSyclac
