If using a VGA device in QVGA mode, this version supports VGA. But that's not really supporting VGA, unfortunately, just displaying correctly on a potentially VGA resolution screen.

Using OzVGA to have full, actual VGA resolution, the world map view looks like this:

The other tools all seem to have been updated, except for the currency calculator, which suffers the same quarter-screen display as the world time view.

There are also little glitches when switching views. Okay-ing out of a screen should (I presume) take one back to the main menu, where all the many tools are displayed. Instead, but only about half the time, that screen flashes for a moment and then another tool window is shown, such as the timezones listing or the airport codes page. Easy enough to escape and go to the main view, but it is funky.

After updating, can't access the program from the Today Screen.
The Itinerary View could use a filter -- or allow the user to remove expired flights/appointments.
