A lower resolution version of the QTopo maps can be accessed directly by OruxMaps when on-line, and areas selected and downloaded for off-line use.
A new item needs to be added to the file: wms_services.xml in the oruxmaps folder on the Android, in: (USB Drive)\oruxmaps\mapfiles
Connect the Android to a PC, find the file and make a backup copy. Open the file with a text editor, such as Notepad++ (or Notepad - but the file has LF line terminators, so is harder to read with Notepad). Copy and Paste the following into the file below the existing item(s), but before the </wms_services>:
<wms>
<name>QTopo</name>
<uid>701</uid><!--unique identifier in your database cache; >1000 -->
<desc>QTopo WMS Qld Maps</desc>
<url>https://gisservices.information.qld.gov.au/arcgis/services/Basemaps/QTopoBase_WebM/MapServer/WmsServer?</url>
<minzoomlevel>4</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
<maxzoomlevel>15</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
<version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->
<layers>Queensland Topographic Map Cache</layers>
<coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
<format>image/png</format>
<cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
</wms>
Save the file. Disconnect from the PC. Start Oruxmaps with a data connection. Tap the 'Map' symbol at top right. Tap Switch Maps - Online. Tap the Refresh symbol at top centre. Scroll down to WMS and tap it. WMS:QTopo should show. Tap it. The Qtopo map should open.
To download an area of map for off-line use:
Zoom out so you can see all the area you want to download. Tap the Map Symbol at top right. Tap Map Creator. Tap the top left and bottom right corners of the area required. Tap the blue tick. Type in a map name. Tap the resolution required (usually 15 - the max available). Check the map has downloaded correctly.
Tap Map Symbol - Switch Map - Offline. The map should be there. If not, tap the refresh symbol.
Higher resolution QTopo maps are available, but I havnt found a way for Oruxmaps to access them directly.
The QTopo WMS maps can be viewed on a PC browser via the on-line WMS Viewer (no installation required):
http://wmsviewer-rodis.rhcloud.com/Copy - Paste the QTopo url into the URL: box:
https://gisservices.information.qld.gov ... /WmsServer?
Copy - Paste the Layer into the Layer: box: Queensland Topographic Map Cache

If you dont want to download and install Notepad++, the wms_services.xml file can be edited in Notepad. It is probably easiest to delete the one Wms item in the original file. It is a set of maps of Spain. Delete everything between and including the <wms> and </wms> tags, leaving 3 tags as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><wms_services></wms_services>
Place the cursor between each of the >< and press Enter to force a newline. Then Copy - Paste the QTopo item above, between the <wms_services> and </wms_services> tags. Save and disconnect.
