How to synchronize to KML route on the go?

In my Android "toolbox" I have OsmAnd and OSM Tracker.

Now I need some Android app (or maybe it is a way to use those 2 apps) which will allow me:

to import KML route for off-line usage
it will show me where I am in relation to the selected KML route
if it supports displaying OSM offline map in the background it would be awesome

So -- how to do with OsmAnd, or what is the app that can do it?

There is a guide about importing KML into OsmAnd but I believe it is no longer correct. It assumes such app OsmAndMapTileCreator which I cannot find (only OsmAndMapCreator). And the latter does not seem to have option for importing KML.

I upvoted you, but didn't accept the answer because OruxMaps is far from OsmAnd usefulness, so I pursued another approach. See below.

Finally! I found the way :-) Ok, here are the steps how to make the happy marriage of 2 different worlds:

create a route in Google Maps for example
export it to KML
use GpsBabel to convert KML into GPX
use FTPServer to upload GPX into /scard/osmand/track
run OsmAnd
define view / GPX / select your uploaded GPX track

Voila. You will see your track over OSM map.
