You can register into OruxMaps servers, but it is not mandatory, the app will work without this step. If you register an account, the app will ask for various personal information, including an email account, date of birth, sex, weight and height. This data will be stored on an OruxMaps server, and will not be shared with any other user, person or company; they are only at your disposal. If you delete your account, that data is deleted from the server.
If you want to use the 'multitracking' option, the app will ask you to choose in your contacts the emails of the users with whom you want to share your position. The email of these people will be stored on the server, so you can share your position with them. These emails will only be used for this purpose. If you delete your account, this information will also be removed from the server.

OruxMaps GP users say on Google Play
I love Orux Maps, so complete and powerful! For folks that are finding it complex, activate the "lite" user interface. Unfortunately having problems now on Android 13, I Cannot access the Android/Data folder, so I can't put new offline maps that I created outside of orux for example. I'm looking forward for an update that address that. I do prefer how it was in older versions, an orux folder on the root folder.
The battery usage is very low. The UI is powerful, but you do need to mess around with it a bit to set it up and get used to it. Setting up the buttons you want to use makes this easier. DEM data works well, but getting the right area takes some trial and error. Track recording does not always record, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I tried to find a pattern for it but did not see one. It used to always work.
The standard is 1km grid squares for utm. It's confusing when grid squares change to 500m and smaller as the zoom level changes. And the grid lines now have utm numbers but include extra unneeded numbers at start. Please fix.
After update the utm zone are not accurate please fix this bug.
The only app I ever paid for and ended up deleting. Crappiest UX ever. Menus are extremely hard to navigatte and remember. Nothing is simple or intuitive. Want to get a track started? Good luck finding a button that says so. Want to find your recorded tracks? That's an obscure tiny icon in one of the menu items, under one of the two hamburger menus! Had to use trial and error to find that every time. No I can't recommend an alternative, I just don't want to spend my time figting a poor UI.
