I'm not sure if you can change the baud rate on the BU-353 itself with a firmware flash or something. Anyone else know about that?

Tried resetting the baud to 38400...couldn't get the GPS to connect or any output (my packaging also says to use a lower baud rate). I'll try to use SIRFdemo to see if the GPS is capable of communicating at any other baud rate, and if so, then try that rate.

Man, this is frustrating...GPS "works" but not well enough to be useful. :-(
