This site:

allows the download of FAA airports and navaid information. It can be downloaded as GPX file format, and uploaded to a variety of GPS systems (via intermediate software).

The Topografix software works with a variety of GPS systems

Garmin Mapsource 6.1.12 reads the GPX file directly for Garmin users.

Depends on the car GPS. If it has direct routing (off road) it should work fine. I use a Garmin GPS V which is a pretty good all-around GPS (for its time).

I've been using the Airport/Navaid filter for waypoint generation and then Waypoint+ for the transfer to the GPS. Now that I have a 430W installed I only use the handheld for backup.
