I suspect a problem with the gpx route. Could you check inside the file (simply using text editor). Some apps will save instead of a route or track simply list of waypoints, and Osmand cannot cope with this - see examples here <http://cycleseven.org/gps-waypoints-routes-and-tracks-the-difference http://cycleseven.org/gps-waypoints-routes-and-tracks-the-difference>. The solution is to transform the file, using for example gpsbabel <https://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/filter_transform.html>.
