The easiest way to import one gpx file is to use ogr2ogr

ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname='db' host='localhost' port='5432'
user='user' password='passwd'" gpx_file.gpx

You must read documentation about ogr2ogr utility and GDAL PostgreSQL and
GPX drivers for learning how to control which layer from GPX files are
imported, name the target tables, and append more data to existing tables.
