PlanTomTom: GPX import does not show waypoints

[wwjd]

I don't know which keywords to use to search for a solution so I hope someone can help?

I use the amazing PlotARoute.com web app to make my routes and then export them to a GPX file

QUESTION: when I import the GPX file into PlanTomTom, the waypoint are not visible. (Google maps does recognise them, so they are imbedded correctly)
EXAMPLE: in the enclosed examples I added 3 waypoints (coffee breaks in the journey)

What could be done about this??

THE EXAMPLES must be renamed, remove the .txt extension!!!

PLANTOMTOM result after import: no waypoints


GOOGLE MAPS after import: waypoint correctly imported


PLOTAROUTE.COM: addes 3 waypoints and then exported the GPX file


PLANAROUTE.COM export options. I TRIED the 2 export options: WAYPOINT and POI

test_route_poi.gpx and test_route_dir.gpx both contain *.gpx waypoints, and TomTom's online planner, phone apps and devices are clueless about *.gpx waypoints. All that TomTom is interpreting are the *.gpx trackpoints.
