    You can use Garmin Topo IMG files with this app.
    I have tested and they work with no problems at all.

    Note:
    The test was done with free Topo maps from 3 different websites.
    Have not tried any paid commercial Garmin Topo maps with the app.
    They should work if there are unlocked I do not think have the unlock file together with the map will work.

    Someone will have to try and report back.

    How to:

    Using on Android devices:

    If you want to see maps from this site on your Android mobile device, you can use OruxMaps app. For that, follow the steps below:

    Download file for GPS of the country you want from Downloads page and unzip it.
    You'll get a file called gmapsupp.img. You can change the name to something more descriptive, such as MyCountry.img.
    Copy that file into OruxMaps maps folder, by default oruxmaps/mapfiles/.
    Open OruxMaps app, click on «Switch map» button and select previously saved file.

    For a better visualization of maps, it is recommeded to go
    Global settings->Maps->Garmin maps settings,
    and
    uncheck Wpt labels background, Polygon labels background and Line labels background boxes

    Note: these maps are not routable on OruxMaps.
