Course tracking on Android

[1ec5]

As a followup to #2004 and #2068, the Android bindings should have a tracking mode that reports the direction the device is traveling, rather than the direction the device is facing. (Imagine you’re on a train, sitting unfortunately in a seat that’s facing backwards. Or imagine that your phone is mounted on the dash, facing diagonally towards the driver’s seat.)

I misunderstood this originally. Android should have this.

@1ec5 in my old location marker (pre move to SDK) code I had a heuristic where if you are stationary then you use compass heading, but if you had GPS motion then it would use GPS heading.

I have suggested to LOST in lostzen/lost#30 that this would be a great feature for the location platform.

Perhaps we can make this configurable.

Should point out that Google Maps is guilty of the sideways travelling arrow. They always use the compass.

This is implemented as GPS mode
