"Back" button exits BCN without warning
I don't think BCN should dump the user to the Android desktop so unceremoniously when the "Back" button is pressed.
Android users are accustomed to jumping back to a previous screen.
At the very least, there should be a warning dialogue "Exit program? OK/Cancel" .

Jeff,
I think it only switches to the desktop. The gps still runs. if you hold home, you can switch back in easily.
In my experience back button does close the app.
The greatest confusion is when editing a waypoint. It seems like the back button would take you back to the main map and it doesn't.
I would propose this: if you are not on the map screen and press the back button, it will take you back to the map screen. The second press will close the app.
Alternately, I could require two back button presses to close from anywhere.
To me, the intuitive functionality would be:
- If you have used the forward button, then the back button takes you back.
- Otherwise the back button exits the program, but with a warning and a chance to get back to the program.
