Hi,

Hello,
 I'm checking your file, and seems that it's IMG file for Garmin devices. This type of file is not supported in Locus (and is not planned to support it)

 you have chances
1. try to convert them by yourself, some description is here http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual ... img_to_sql (http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:convert_img_to_sql)
2. purchase credit and download vector maps in Locus
3. create own vector maps from OSM data, by methods here http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/wiki ... dMapWriter (http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/wiki/GettingStartedMapWriter)
