Anyone know of any software that will take a downloaded
Garmin tracklog and convert it into a .igc file (non
secure) so that it can be fed into Seeyou or tasknav
etc for viewing and analysis purposes?

Some perl hackery that will do the job - it's not pretty, but it works:
Modify as necessary, salt to taste.

Pipe the garmin data to standard in, redirect stdout to a file.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
