Default convert turnpoints to KML for google earth?

Does anyone know of a software [preferably free] to convert turnpoint
files to .kml format?
I'd like to be able to view the turnpoints in google earth.

Especially cambridge .dat and seeyou .cup formats, but garmin would be
ok.

don't know if this works
http://gpstp.sourceforge.net/

commercial $75+, more powerful than i need and not free.

I've entertained the possibility of adding this feature to what you
already get at justsoar.com.

Currently you get a KML file showing the 3D airspace in and
overlapping the area of the turnpoint file you provide. Adding the
turnpoints to the file would be easy, if there is enough interest.

If your trunpoints are already in John Leibacher's Worldwide Soaring
Turnpoint Exchange http://soaringweb.org/TP/ you have an option to
view them in google earth individually or the whole list (look for the
Google Earth icon option once you select your site).
