Can mapwell convert klm or kmz files to img files .

Main menu > Image > Import Calibrated Image from KML or KMZ File > Automatic Vectorization (to *.img format) > Send map from Mapwel to GPS.

Technical notes:

Number of auto-vectorized maps can be loaded into GPS at once. Auto-vectorized maps can be exported into IMG format and combined with any other GPS maps. Current version of Mapwel software supports max. 86 colors for autovectorization.

Assign different Map Set Data to all auto-vectorized maps you create. This ensures displaying of map with correct colors in the GPS. GPS uses the same color palette for all maps in a map set. Therefore, maps with different palettes are not displayed correctly if they have the same Map Set Data.

Warning: you have to set map detail in GPS to 'Most' (default value is 'Normal') to see autovectorized map in full detail. Otherwise, only a large colored squares are visible. Autovectorized map is supposed to be rendered in full detail at zoom 800 m and closer.
