Hello,

is it possible to get a donate Version of OruxMaps without having access to the Google Play Store? Of course I would donate via PayPal.

Thank you!

Looking for the "free" version that is announced on the home page.
Have been a user some time ago but left for a while (no Android phone).
Now I do have one again, but without google stuff but microG.
So, this donation version downloadable here isn't exist anymore - or am I just to blind?
Thanks

But be so kind and delete any hint to a free version from your page if this is not existing anymore..

The free version is still available here : https://www.oruxmaps.com/cs/en/more/downloads

But....
1) This place is no more accessible directly from https://www.oruxmaps.com : click on Màs... (in spanish) or More... (in english) do not work. We are obliged to provide the full URL mentioned above
2) This version hasn't been updated for very long time (7.4.22 from April '19, updated to 7.4.23 in August '20)
3) Orux (Jose) is not clear in his answers about perennity of this free version :
  see https://oruxmaps.org/forum/index.php?topic=34623
  and https://oruxmaps.org/forum/index.php?topic=21146

Nevertheless, this 7.4.23 version works fine : I'm using it (almost...) everyday

Thanks for this hint! Yes - I pressed "more" several times - but I blamed it to my browser ;)
The other option I found is download a beta version.
But honestly - it is some "work" to get used to an app like this - if this is not wanted way that can be closed at any time I better go for another solution (no offence).

It would be great if @orux will decide whether he will still offer this bypassing the allmighty google or not. For me this is not an option to go with Playstore.
