It uses a SiRF chipset. This chipset is capable of issuing data either in NMEA mode (text) or in SiRF mode (binary).

For street navigation this is completely irrelevant. If your system works fine as is then DON'T TOUCH IT . Keep using NMEA, and save yourself some of the hassles of switching back and forth between protocols.

I think I explained the difference (text vs binary)., Most programs (like MemoryMap) don't even understand SiRF, and require that you have a NMEA receiver.

As I said, for what you are doing the protocol does not matter, so stay on NMEA for your own benefit.
