For UK Rights of Way, another way to go is to make GPX files. RoW data for 
most counties is freely available, and there's an excellent guide here:
https://www.rowmaps.com/datasets/

Using JOSM (maybe also QGIS if you go to the original source and discover 
it is WFS or something peculiar) you can export as GPX. What I then do is 
use GPSBabel's "crosstrack" simplification method with an error bound of 5m 
to reduce the file size (actually I use the program "Viking" which is a 
friendly front-end to GPSBabel and select filter>compress). All the tools I 
have mentioned are free.

For example, the GPX RoW for West Sussex is 12,463 kB but after 
simplification with a 5m tolerance it's only 4,295 kB. And that's a big 
county. On my old phone I have GPX RoW files for the three counties I visit 
most without any trouble.

OsmAnd gives great options for how a GPX is displayed - this is really 
quite a nice way to do it!
