The difference in route calculated by Osmand vs. an other source lies in routing engine being used and its settings (in case of a recorded track it's obvious, it's the exact path someone took). When following a gpx track the navigation is not full featured (as shown on Bart's video). To get a full featured one, Osmand needs to calculate the route. Now, to get the result best matching external source, you need as many waypoints as possible, so Osmand has no (or almost) choice for routing. Some sources provide such options e.g. Kurviger can export additional waypoints and a tack at the same time.
If that's not available, you might want to add waypoints to imported track manually in Osmand to fix the biggest deviations, let it make the route and start navigation, while displaying the imported track. Of course, you'd need to adjust the settings in Osmand to match those from external source, esp. for things like paved/upaved roads or the base profile. That way you can follow the imported track "manually" and let Osmand recalculate on each deviation you make from calculated track to follow the imported one. Sounds complicated but is quite easy given you placed waypoints in correct places, and works quite well.
