Problems with changing baud rate - device connected to Arduino Uno

Thanks for the answers everybody,

Hi,
Can I suggest

    Serial.begin(115200);

GPS_Serial.begin(Baud_Rate);



And leave the IDE monitor at 115200.
It doesn't have to be the same as the GPS baudrate.

Just a thought.

Tom... :)

Yes - I tried it, and in general it works.
I establish the connection between the Arduino to PC @115200 bps, and leave is stable. Just changing the baud rate between the Arduino and GPS.
One problem that I see - sometimes, when the baudrate of Arduino to PC is 115200, and GPS to Arduino is 4800 - I send a command to GPS and it goes gibberish - not accepted. It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes.

Regarding connecting the GPS to pins 0,1 - I just wonder - aren't those the pins of the main serial connection of the UNO? Parallel to the connector to USB?

I was busy with other things but will try today to implement it with NeoSWSerial.

BTW the GPS is CSR SiRFStar V.
