KML to IGC conversion?

[Papa3[_2_]]

I know there are a lot of threads regarding conversion of .IGC to .KML format, but does anyone know of a tool to go the opposite direction. Obviously, some of the header records etc would need to be "dummied", but I'm only really interested in being able to step through B Records using SeeYou or another igc viewer.

Have you tried gpsbabel?

Thanks to both Jonathon and Martin. Was short on googling time, so you guys did the work for me :-) Looks like GPSbabel fits the bill. Can't run it on my work computer but will try when I get home.

I use RouteConverter for some other things. Have had no issues with it or its conversions to/from various formats. Has the benefit of showing the data on your choice of a base map. You can also easily delete (i.e. pre-takeoff or post landing points) (or add) position points if needed.

It opened one of my igc files and saved it to a kmz. Only issue was the need to select the "Position List" drop down list.
