Just upgraded my laptop to a new 80GB hard drive and have reinstalled OziExporer and Magellan Map330 software as a result. Got it all working fine but I'm wondering if it is better to have a higher baud rate (whatever that is)? Does that mean it will run faster / better?

It has always worked fine at 4800, but both the GPS and laptop can go to much higher baud rates (9600, 19,200 etc). I've been experimenting and it works on these different settings, but is there a reason it is set at 4800? Unfortunately I can't drive at the moment so I am unable to do the obvious thing and test it out and waving my GPS around in the air has so far proved inconclusive.

Thanks
