Some time ago, OruxMaps removed SOS feature because of new Google Play policy. I think SOS feature could be very useful feature for people who for example bike alone, and maybe it could save lives. Is there any way Oruxmaps will try to combat this? From what I read, there should be option to apply for exception in certain cases. Or maybe Oruxmaps could be distributed in another way. It's shame that developers have to pay Google for their stupid store because they have monopoly, and in return, Google applies this tyranny.
