Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield - Memory Usage

[rvnash]

I'm wondering how much Flash and RAM is taken up just with the GPS and the SD libraries.

I built my own version of this using the Ultimate GPS breakout board and a SD card shield from another company. The problem I ran into is that between the GPS library, SoftSerial, the SD library, and several other libraries I needed for additional sensors and radio capabilities, I went way over the 32K limit on flash and 2K limit on RAM. I managed, through much rewriting of these libraries to get my project under the limits, but it was very difficult.

So the question is, what's the baseline consumption of these precious resources for the GPS and Logger with this shield?

Thanks,

With the Ultimate GPS logger the simple shield_sdlog example sketch uses over 22K of flash and 1681 bytes of sdram (367 bytes free according to freeMemory() on an Uno).

On the plus side the lack of memory would mean plenty of room left on the proto-area of the board. :-)
