Original release notes

Satellite catalogue update + map panel polish.

NEW SATELLITES (3 — all confirmed in the CelesTrak amateur orbital-element feed)
• Gemini-Pollux (NCKU, Taiwan) — a V/U data transponder and APRS digipeater with a 436.500 MHz downlink.
• EMISAR (401.334 MHz digital messaging) and OPTISAT (400.360 MHz telemetry beacon) — receive-only curiosities for SDR listeners. Both transmit just below the 70 cm amateur band (400-401 MHz, the Space Operations band), so they are listen-only with an SDR — no uplink, no QSO — like the music-broadcast satellites.

CATALOGUE FIX
• LAPAN-A3 auto-fill corrected: its frequencies had been mistakenly copied from its sister satellite LAPAN-A2 (IO-86). LAPAN-A3 has no amateur voice repeater — its only signal is a 437.425 MHz telemetry beacon (receive-only) — and the auto-fill now reflects that.

GRID LOCATOR MAP
• The map info panel now shows a single tidy line — QTH, the distance to your live position, and your current grid ("You are here") — matching the Ham Logging companion. Any field not yet set shows a dash (e.g. before you save a QTH or get a GPS fix).
• Fixed the info-panel text so it grows and shrinks with your Font Scale accessibility setting, like the rest of the app.
