As title, how to transfer gpx files to TomTom rider 400?

Until recently I was able to transfer gpx files to my TomTom Rider 440 by going online to
https://mydrive.tomtom.com/en_gb/#mode=viewport+viewport=51.94609,0.90715,13,0,-0+ver=3

which now redirects to
https://plan.tomtom.com/en?p=51.7626,0.471,6z#mode=viewport+viewport=51.94609,0.90715,13,0,-0+ver=3

ov2 files transfer OK but not gpx files

Whats happened here? Has TomTom broke it? Will they fix it?

I can't find any information anywhere, not even of folk having the same problem, it can't be just me!

or does anyone have an email address for TomTom customer services?

All they have online is an illiterate bot

Found a fix, tried 6 different gpx files and found the Tom Tom Rider can only read gpx TRACKS which means that it can read off the SD card:
Garmin Zumo GPX Basecamp.gpx
GPS eXchange 10. gpx
but not other gpx files such as the Garmin Nuvi GPX MapSource.gpx which I was using earlier.
A little odd having to import *.ov2 files via plan.tomtom and *.gpx via the SD card but there it is a work around for the Tom Tom wizards failing
