Can you open the file with a text editor?
Qgis does not like folders with mixed content (points, lines and/or 
polygons). Furthermore, <ExtendedData> tags can not be read.

Just as simple as Add new spatialite layer, if it is a spatialite sqlite 
database. Otherwise it would be a non-spatial layer. You can try Qgis DB 
Manager to look inside the database.

Has GPS-Essential any other output options? I would assume GPX, beeing 
standard in GPS data exchange. At least Google Earth does IIRC.
