I'm using the GPS logger for a data visualization project, and the data acquisition component of that requires me to leave the box in my car for a long time. Each time I drive the shield creates a new file but the file dates on them aren't accurate. Yes, they're named in order, but I'd also like to be able to sort by date to find exactly which file I need.
Interestingly, I have a single file that does have the correct date. How can I ensure the correct dates are set for the other files?

Re: GPS Shield log file date
Thanks, ada support! Next time I'll learn to use the search. The shield itself doesn't seem to have an RTC, but does the Arduino board?

Re: GPS Shield log file date
You should be able to get the time-stamp from the GPS. If it makes it easier, you could use that to initialize "SoftRTC" using RTCLib.
