Personally I use Locus Map Pro.  It was one of the first apps I bought.  It does a lot of mapping functions quite well.  There are some apps that are more focused and may have better features in those contexts.  I understand that OruxMaps can read Garmin files.  I do not have a Garmin and have not used OruxMaps enough to comment one way or another on that.

Thank you,
