Thanks, Thomas.  Unfortunately, it seems that either I can't find the
proper settings, or it doesn't support my particular type of files, as I
can't gave it a go and couldn't convert it.  (The documentation omits
mention of the format, so I suspect the latter.)  The files I'm trying
to convert are the ones created by placing the Garmin Nuvi in debug
mode, so that it logs one point per second (described here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin/N%C3%BCvi_series#Garmin_N.C3.BCvi_Track_Hack
), and not files that are created by default by the device.  Anyone know
what I'm missing with GPSBabel, or any other options?
