Hi

for bicycling, there are a lot of osm-based .img-files in the web, but no osm-file directly.

how can i import these files into osmand?

Thank you

These would be maps in Garmin format, most likely generated by mkgmap, which is a map translator written in Java, based on reverse-engineering efforts.

I think that it would be more fruitful to lift code from mkgmap and splitter to make OsmAndMapCreator faster, and maybe to write a translator from a subset of the mkgmap style language to OsmAnd layout rules.
