User manual: Updates for iphone app for subsurface GPS serevice
I did some editing of the image to increase contrast and make the text in the screen shots more readable. In the process I also reduced the size of the image substantially. I have also edited the text somewhat. Signed-off-by: willem ferguson <willemferguson@zoology.up.ac.za> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

+Dives can be added automatically or manually. In manual mode, a dive location or waypoint is added to the GPS input stream. In automatic mode, a continuous path of GPS locations is created from which, much later, after import, subsurface can select the appropriate GPS locations based on the times of dives. The default mode for the _iphone_ is automatic. When one adds a dive, the
+location service is started automatically and a red bar appears at the bottom
+of the screen. After the dive one can click on the red
+bar to end the location service. While the location
+service is running one can only add dives using the manual mechanism.
-Next step is to click "Dive in" and start collecting location
-information. Dive can be added automatically or manually. The difference
-seems to be whether user is asked for site name or not. When user adds a
-dive, location service is started and there is a red bar at the bottom
-of the screen indicating that. After the dive one can click on the red
-bar to end the dive/location service. Note that when the location
-service is running, one can add dives only manually.

-It is possible to change the site name afterwards by selecting the dive
