I got the GPS Datalogger kit a little while ago because I wanted something for long distance hikes without a good power source for days. Unfortunately the logger sucks up too much power so I was going to have to edit the firmware to only wake up and turn on the SD card when a the Lassen iQ has sent through some NMEA. I've not done that sort of thing before and I'd hate to introduce a bug that doesn't get noticed until I am out in the field (or the hills as the case maybe).
But I see that the new logomatic can be interrupt driven. Can anyone tell me if that means the SD card is shut down in between writes? It'd be a big power saver if that was the case, and along with the new Sirf Star III chipset it might be enough to make me fork out for a new bundle (in a few months, once I'm sure it won't get superseded again before my trip)
