* Fix crash on some Android devices for offline maps when

+ AltosDroid from being offered on devices without USB device
+ support, although it can work without that just fine using
+ BlueTooth.

+ application to operate with USB devices or just show old
+ data without turning on the bluetooth radio.
+
+ * Recover old tracker positions when restarting
+ application. This finally allows you to safely stop and
+ restart the application without losing the last known
+ location of any tracker.
