Could someone please tell me what the difference between, .srtm.obf versus .obf files are and can I delete either type of file, as they consume a large amount of space on my device.  There is an STRM folder, do we need this as the .OBF files are located in the NET.OSMAND.PLUS folder.  Thank you.

Hi, srtm.obf are the "level courves" maps AKA relief maps.
You only need them if you are hiking, biking or similar.

.obf are the standard maps used for routing.


BTW
Are you aware that "roads only" maps are available for routing?
They use less less space on disc at the cost of lacking some details.
