Directions from gpx

Yes, that is the problem. This way you only create and import a new GPX file again, and navigation cannot be started on an imported GPX track.The important step is different: after the route opens on Mapy.com in the browser, you must save the created plan to “My Maps” in your Mapy.com account. Do not export it again to GPX.
Then open the Mapy.com app on the phone while logged into the same account. The saved plan will synchronize automatically into My Maps, and when you open that synchronized plan in the app, the navigation button will be available.
So yes — for navigation it must work through account synchronization, not through exporting/importing the GPX file again.

I would also add that this is how it always works when a route is planned on the web in advance.If a route is created directly in the mobile app, navigation can be started immediately. But the transfer from gpxmapy works through a URL link, and that can only be opened in the Mapy.com web interface, not transferred directly into the mobile app.
So from that point on, it behaves exactly like any other route planned on the web — the transfer to the mobile app works only through synchronization via your Mapy.com account.

@Jan-Buriánek Thank you very much @jan-buriánek for your help, that did it so the synchronisation must be used to transfer the track to the phone.

Good we're paying premium and don't get basic fundamental features. Instead this funny workaround. Quite amateurish from Mapy.com

@manuel_platzer "Amateurish" is probably a bit too strong.
Mapy.com achieved an incredible amount while the service was completely free. Of course, they couldn't implement every feature users wanted. Introducing Premium gives them additional resources to keep developing the platform, although it still doesn't include everything many of us would like to see.
I also hope that direct navigation along imported GPX tracks will be added in the future. Until then, this workaround is simply one option for those who need that functionality today.

I had the same problem, so I built a small free tool that fixes it: you upload a GPX and it converts the track into a route (waypoints) that mapy.com can actually navigate.It also handles the tricky stuff like trims part of a track, merge two files,
or simplify a track that's too dense to fit mapy's point limit.Runs entirely in your browser, no signup: https://contour-eta.vercel.app/
Still actively working on it, so any feedback is welcome. -
@Paweł-Koperdowski Thanks for sharing. Just a note that this is an external, third-party tool and isn’t operated or officially supported by Mapy.com, so we can’t verify or recommend it. For feedback about GPX import and route planning in Mapy.com, feel free to share it here.

@Paweł-Koperdowski That's great! Worked for me! Perhaps you know if the routh can be displayed on the map on OS WEAR smart watch?

@Paweł-Koperdowski : Hello,
After importing a GPX file, when I click on “Open route in Mapy.com,” I get a page that says “Ce site est inaccessible” (in French).
I may not have fully understood how the tool works.
Thank you for your help. -
Please also check the second post in this thread. It describes how to convert a GPX track into a route plan for Mapy.com using gpxmapy.cz.
The solution mentioned in the latest posts, developed by another programmer, was added later as an additional option. The gpxmapy.cz procedure has been described here from the beginning.
