Navigation Address Book Download/Upload Function

I have a 2010 G37 Sedan with the Navigation system. In the owners manual it explains how to upload/download the address book to a USB device. So fare I have entered via the Nav screen 4 addresses. What I had hoped was the file that I downloaded to the USB with my 4 addresses would show me that the file was in just a normal text file that I could pull up in Notepad in Windows. At that point I could pull my address book from multiple sources (Outlook, Gmail, etc.) and insert them into the file; upload via the USB device into the G37 Nav. Wahlah! All my addresses would be listed. No such luck.

So the files are put in a folder called 'userdata'. There here are 3 files: homelocation.hlc & storedlocation.slc & stsfile Can't read them with Notepad. And I can't find anything through Google searches to help me understand the file format, let alone the application that I could use to edit the files.

Anyone know anything about these files? What was Infiniti's intention to build in this functionality, insert it into the Nav owners manual? Surely it can't just be to transfer your address book from one Infiniti to the next?

Other than the obvious co-ords, it's mostly a lot of babble in NP++.
