Several new datalogger features and options:

- Added 10 sec, 30 sec, and 1 min logging intervals

The plug-in Bad Elf GPS dongle does work with Apple’s Lighning-to-30pin adapters… more details here. And of course we have had lots of requests for a Lightning solution… watch our blog for any updates over the next few months.
“Fixed issue causing high-temperature firmware lock-ups”
I note the comment re the latest update.
I have my itouch with bad elf mentioning high temperature causing Tom Tom at to shut down. I thought this was because I had new on car charger
But could have been a fault and this will fix it?
This is just for the new Bad Elf Pro, not the original 1.0, right?
Thanks for the new improvements. Could a non-slip mount for the Bad Elf Pro be next? Something that would keep it stationary, protected from direct sunlight, and exposed to satellites when in a glider or power plane would be great!
Love the new updates. Great job!
