WorldMap: Clarify description.

Browse source 
Avoid tautology, make separate paragraphs fit better. Don't go too
deep in technical details (like API levels; arguably, it's still
too technical, but I for example treat this app as an API usage example,
if we had multiple categories, it would have "Development" atatched).
Mention ability to serve as a standalone image viewer (which may come
as surprise to a user - suddenly, when clicking on a photo in a file
manager, popup appears with something called "WorldMap" in it).

WorldMap is a simple Android app that displays

of the world taken from Wikimedia and allows the user to scroll around on it.
The map is from wikipedia and licensed as PD-USGOV; PD-USGOV-CIA-WF - more info

The map itself is quite large (6480x3888), so it’s way too big to fit in
memory all at once (over 48MB). The VM heap size Android supports is either 16
or 24 megs, so we can’t fit the whole thing in memory at once.
WorldMap uses the BitmapRegionDecoder API (available as of API 10) to decode
just what it needs to display.
or 24 megs, so we can’t fit the whole thing in memory at once. To overcome
this, WorldApp uses the BitmapRegionDecoder API (available as of Android 2.3.3)
to decode just what it needs to display. The app can also serve as a viewer
for arbitrary images opened via a (3rd-party) file manager.
