Documentation: Briefly explain the download from web service
This sounds rather lame as the app hasn't been released but it is too useful to not have it in 3.0 Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

+Web Service and Companion App
+-----------------------------
+
+This part of Subsurface is a bit of 'work in progress'. We are
+developing a companion application for Android that will allow you to
+track dive sites from your GPS-enabled Android device; at the time of
+the Subsurface 3.0 release the app wasn't ready to be submitted to the
+Google Play store, but since it is mostly usable when built form
+source we left the server side integration in Subsurface.
+
+Assuming you have used the companion app to name and locate dive sites
+you can use this menu item to connect to our backend server and
+download this data. Enter your userid (you got this when registering
+with the web service) and click 'Download'. If the data was
+successfully downloaded you can click apply and Subsurface will match
+the time stamps of the downloaded location and site name information
+with the dives in your log and will add the GPS locations and dive
+site names to your dives.
