To import GPS data from a file that is not a GPX file, you use the tool \tab{Import other file} in the GPS Tools dialog.
Here you select the file that you want to import, which feature type you want to import from it, where you want to store the converted GPX file and what the name of the new layer should be.
-When you select the file to import you must also select the format of that file by using the menu in the file selection dialog (see figure \ref{figure importdialog}).
