Any way to read/import Gpx files on the nav?

Does anyone know of any way to import a GPX file into the nav?
I'm trying to export some files from the Ultimate Drive app. They xport into GPX format which is a universal xml type of file that can be read by most GPS units.

The files he is talking about are GPS files. I deal with these on my Garmins all the time both in mapping, tracking as well as geocaching. I have not gotten into the nav system in the G yet so I am just not sure how user friendly it would be with the GPX files. Maybe I will see tonight what I can do with it. Most cars I have dealt with in the past did not have a nav system that you could do much with GPX files. Thats the main reason I have never had a nav system before and used my Garmins instead.
