Wow, they've improved everything in the 3.8 Android update! Now you can just open "Plan a route" (used to be "Measure distance") and select your GPX. And lots of other cool stuff.
Helmut - I noticed your request on github for the wrap-around of the points list, but it you hit "Options" there is now "Reverse Route" which makes it easy to access the end of the track (you can always reverse a second time when you have finished editing).
