Thank you for the suggestion. In the past the 'Attach to Roads' function has been unusable because it was simply to slow. This may now be fixed with the current release of OsmAnd. However it still does not fix the micro turn instructions that happen way to often in my testing, of which I find annoying. Another complaint I have with using a GPX track file is when the track point falls on an overpass routing will navigate you off the Autobahn and back onto the Autobahn. So GPS track files in my opinion are only suitable for off road usage and not for serious road tours (200-400 kilometers). Another problem with navigating GPS track files is the lack of what road you are on and the name of the road to turn onto.
I am currently using Kurviger for route planning and exporting via GPX Route file and then importing the waypoints to create a proper navigation route. This combo works very well. I have entered several routes and can now say Kurviger is as good as Google Maps for finding cities and POIs. It still struggles a little with street addresses. If I have a street address it cannot find then I would look for it with Google Maps, note the GPS location and then drop a waypoint on that spot in Kurviger. This is my current solution. At any moment, you have a choice, that leads you closer to God or further from God.
