When you follow a GPX, OsmAnd notes the curves. Whereas when you create a route from within OsmAnd itself, the app will give you road-oriented, turn-by-turn navigation. This video shows how this is done using hiking trails, but the same idea applies to navigating roads: https://youtu.be/o84C0z3Kydc
To get the map to rotate as you move, see settings/Map orientation.
