Another possibility: import the GPX to OsmAnd. Create a navigational route to the destination *not* using that GPX. And then alter the route using intermediate waypoints to conform to the GPX. That should provide turn-by-turn directions that more or less follow the GPX. Of course it matters how dedicated you are to exactly following the GPX. This assumes that the GPX is an approximation of where you want to go and and that the OSM data for the area's back roads are accurate.
