MotionX GPS Lite Version 9.3

I stopped posting updates a while back about updates to MotionX GPS Lite simply because they were happening so frequently. They're still rolling them out though and just released today is version 9.3. I've not had the chance to open it up though since version 9 was released so I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
