Thank you for bringing Oruxmaps to iOS!
I've been an occasional user on Android, although this is due mine being an old version that pre-dates the Play Store version. This particular use case was on a device that lacks service, no SIM card and is 100% offline so getting to the Play Store is difficult.
Oruxmaps being available on iOS solves occasional access to an app store. However a robust mapping app that can handle GeoPDF, Mapsforge and Garmin IMG offline files is still important since the device is often used where cell data is unreliable.
That brings up a feature that I do not seem to find in the iOS version.
Offline maps do not seem to seamlessly and automatically load. On the Android version as I travel or swipe across I am presented a list of maps available at a given location. This is very handy and would make Oruxmaps much more useful on iOS.
I have no issue displaying any of the GeoPDF and Mapsforge V5 maps I've tried on iOS. So it is a very promising option. The issue is only that when I load an offline file that is the only map shown regardless if that is my current location or not.
