FYI, to make the Open Cycle Maps more visible in OSMAND you need to put this XML file in the rendering folder. http://www.openfietsmap.nl/installation/android/osmand
What does this do?
I only ever use OSMAnd for a backup navigation app or sometimes to find a hotel or something.

Let's say you want to use a dedicated cycle path because because of whatever. These cycle paths are included in the OSM maps, but are not easily visible in OSMAND by default. So the XML file changes the rendering of these paths so they are more apparent. At least in the day mode. In night mode they are tough to decipher.
To know what cycle paths I'm on about, turn on the Cycle Map layer in this link. Have a look at the Map Key to see what each line color is about.

Or have a look here
https://www.opencyclemap.org/Europe is riddled with awesome cycle paths. Often you can just go full gas on these paths without needing to worry about traffic. Instead of cars and bad roads you get lots of retired folks on ebikes, dog walkers, joggers, and friends and family groups who must walk side by side using up the entire path. And all of whom are deaf BTW, including the dog.

I tested maps.me, but i lost interest pretty quick because what I get out of OSMAND is tops.
Yes OSMAND can open GPX files.

BTW my experience with OSMAND on Android has been better than on IOS 10. I don't have an IOS device newer than version 10 so don't know if that makes any difference. For me the Android version is more full featured and behaves better.
