Hallo osmand team.

When osmand navigates from GPX file, routing instructions are different, for example, when I am attending roundabout, it just tells "turn left" instead of "take third exit".
I also have impression (maybe wrong) that lane assistant is disabled when routing from GPX file.

Both these things would be very useful, thus the question if You are planning to enrich GPX routing with these?

best regards

Hi,

I have the same problem, but maybe an idea how it can be solved:

if I create a routing via destination and then add waypoints via "set location" it is working fine, but if I import a tracklist, osmand is not routing correct and gives me also wrong instructions. 
My idea is to import the routing - points (in gpx-file <rte> ..) and take this points in the same way like the manually set points. So the user can choose/change via the popup menu the single waypoints and osmand should work correct. The problem: I'm not the developer :-) but maybe one developer can help us here. Many bike-rider would be happy.

... or maybe there can be another solution:

turn instruction should be embedded in gpx track file as plain text.
why?

OSRM tells me to get ...th turn on roundabout, thus it could be exported to gpx track file and spoken by osmand.

Additionally it would be good idea to inject more detailed/different/modified_by_user routing instructions.

best regards

I am not sure, have a look on Oruxmap. I have heard things about Oruxmap, that seems to be similair to your wish.
