simply the best!

Oruxmaps is simply the best gps tracking apps to me!

I love the offline map feature: maps are really easy to be created (with Mobile Atlas Creator) and imported.
And thanks to Map+ I can have all the topographic map of Switzerland and Italy (near the border).
I'm an Italian mountaineer and ski-tourer and offline topo-maps are a must for me.

Statistical data provided by Oruxmaps are great, every info is there!
In particular the rise speed, not easy to be found in others apps.
Also the battery consumption is very good, with the possibility to set different gps acquisition intervals to save energy.
To me Oruxamp is the best app for hikers, trekkers and similar.

Unfortunately is not easy to find free italian topo-maps, but this is not an Orux-based problem!
I've never tried to create a map starting from a paper one, yet. The process seems to be quite long but I'll try one day.

Thanks Orux team!

I totally agree, your work is great!

Even though Map+ is a good source for swiss maps and they've done a great job, in the meantime all maps are officially available at:

http://map.geo.admin.ch/

This is a government website, offering a higher map resolution. The level of detail is the same (max 1:25000), but the resolution is higher (zooming get's better). If you could add this one as an online map, this would be great.

Thanks a lot for the work you've done so far!

+1 for "map.geo.admin.ch". This are the best swiss cards and from governement. Please add it. It would make Orux just perfect!
