Trying to understand this? So you generated a new route using Brouter and because it was made in that program is has "hints" ie..turn ahead, direction and distance embedded in it via xml? So this will work better as a gpx track for turn by turn than the same track made in Garmin Basecamp?
Can I open my gps files and regenerate them formBrouter to add this metadata in? Do I need to select Brouter on OsmAnd? also...not to divert this but in my searching today it appears Locus maps app might be better up to the task of turn by turn routing on remote area riding on unpaved roads and fire roads...because you can turn off "recalculate route" which I think is what caused me so much errors trying to get started and more importantly you can use "NeoTreks" which Locuismaps has. I think Locusmaps also can use Brouter but not sure.
