I have imported some POI GPX-files which includes elevation data (<ele> tag),
but I have not figured out how to see this information in OSMAND at all.
Example of the GPX-file:
  <wpt lat="29.389157660" lon="110.480127880">
    <ele>1072.800</ele>
    <name>Eco Bus Stn</name>
    <cmt>Eco Bus Stn</cmt>
    <desc>Eco Bus Stn</desc>
  </wpt>

According to https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/2487#issuecomment-262764012 - "This is implemented now for taps on POIs which are tagged with ele."

Any idea how to show the elevation data for my POIs?

Long press on the poi then Details.

Thank you!
This is what I was expecting, but it does not work for me...
Maybe there is another hidden setting to display/hide elevation

Then you would be best advised to examine how the feature has been tagged. Perhaps it is missing the elevation tag or done incorrectly.

No idea what is wrong ...
Importing the same GPX-file into other tools (on PC or Android) shows the elevation properly.
The GPX-file was generated with GPX-Babel ...
(The first post shows ans example)

Thank you!
