Tips and questions relating to the GPS modules from SFE

I have a Venus GPS Logger with SMA Connector (P/N GPS-10920), FT232R Breakout Board, Amplified GPS antenna, and the Skytraq SW. Everything is working well as far as the GPS receiver/engine goes. I would like to use the logging feature and am evidently not doing something right. I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a quick procedure for setting up the Venus GPS receiver using Skytraq and them reading out the data from the RAM for use. I can download the "Data.log" file but when I decompress it it appears that the data is still in binary format.

I had to setup the Skytraq Properties > Compatibility to Windows XP (SP3) and run as Administrator in order to be able to use the logging features of Skytraq (version 0.4.833).
