Ok ran across this programming my 8" tablet for my Pioneer 500, sure wish I had this handy the first time I tried to use Oruxmaps! The attached .PDF is a tutorial on how to put Garmin formatted map files and overlays into BCN (Back Country Navigator) and ORUXMAPS app on Android devices.

For other info on Oruxmaps here is the original thread by @Hondasxs
OruxMap's - My GPS Replacement!

@Delton you like BCN the attached tutorial file can show you how to transfer all maps / trails into your app so you have more than just tracks. FYI.
