v0.18.0

v0.18.0 alpha

This is a major release which adds a configurable Manual Azimuth Correction 🧭 to the app's settings.

This setting may be used to correct inaccurate compass heading information from images taken by a drone with bad magnetometer calibration.

NOTE: This value is NOT for setting magnetic declination! Magnetic declination is already accounted for by your drone's onboard digital World Magnetic Model (WMM). Improper use of this Manual Offset setting will result in bad target calculation output.
