Yes, I turn my Blue logger on first also. A few seconds doesn't seem all that long, but if you get impatient to get going you can turn on the MPower and start gps very quickly without realizing it. I can't begin to tell you just how many times I've done it. This wasn't an issue with the old serial receivers, but I'll take bluetooth and a few seconds wait any day.
