Ah, I had to make the GPX file a spine item for that to work. Another use
case for linear="no"? :)

<manifest>
  <item id="content_001"  href="content_001.xhtml"
media-type="application/xhtml+xml"/>
  <item id="nav"  href="nav.xhtml" media-type="application/xhtml+xml"
properties="nav"/>
  <item id="gpx"  href="Prospect_Mountain_Skinning.gpx"
media-type="application/gpx+xml" fallback="fallback"/>
  <item id="fallback"  href="fallback.xhtml"
media-type="application/xhtml+xml"/>
</manifest>
<spine>
  <itemref idref="content_001" />
  <itemref idref="gpx" linear="no"/>
</spine>
