Wow. When the service that produced the GPX can't follow the GPX, that's a problem.
I haven't imported this route to OsmAnd, but just looking at it, I can see where OsmAnd's routing algorithm would take you on a different route: OsmAnd is looking for a direct route; the GPX is suggesting a more bicycle-friendly one. Ideally, OsmAnd would "snap" the GPX to the underlying map. But it doesn't. The developers say that would be a difficult feature to implement.
