It sounds like you might be pressing the Go button before you're ready to navigate.
If you are already displaying the GPX, press the directions button (the arrow in the diamond). You'll be prompted to use the GPX. Pressing on the Distance/Time field will then give you stats about the route, including the distance and an altitude profile. If you aren't initially displaying the GPX, you can select it via <gear icon>/GPX route. As noted elsewhere in this forum, following an imported route will give you turn-by-turn directions at each *turn *of the road*, *rather than at the appropriate intersections.
