Baud Rate

Nope. Higher BAUD rate is just putting a bigger hose on the tank to empty
it. Same data, just dumped faster.

Thanks much guys. I have a 16MB internal card to record data. A card
reading port that connects to a USB port on the lap top.
I get it, the more baud rate the more detail you gather, kind of like the
three settings on the VCR, the 2 HR setting gives a better picture while
using more tape and inversely the same amount of tape can be used to
record
6 HRs with the picture quality being sacrificed due to the less amount of
data being recorded at the slower "baud" rate if you will.

If you are hooking this up to a computer, I would recommend 115200 for
the
fastest possible speed. Serial ports on computers for a long time have
supported these high bit rates without problems. Take for instance a
56K
modem. Even though the throughput is only 56,000, you would still setup
the
connection between the computer and modem as 115200. The reason is that
the
modem could compress data so you need to let it empty and fill its
buffers
quicker than 56K.

I can change my baud rate from between 1200 baud and 115200 baud on
NMEA
data, what or why would different settings be chosen over another
setting?
My default baud is 9600. I do not have a DGPS receiver installed
(yet)
on
the GPS unit. Is this a worth while option? I do have a "pinning"
setting
on the GPS, is there a Baud setting that best compliments "pinning"?
