In certain cases, you may need to change the default baud rate of your Garmin GPS receiver while in Garmin mode.
Follow these steps to temporarily change the baud rate.
APPENDIX C: CHANGING THE BAUD RATE IN GARMIN MODE
Refer to the Garmin Device Interface Specification found in the Garmin Device Interface SDK for details on how to
form and parse Garmin packets. At the time of this printing, these specs are available from the technical suppport
section of our Web site: www.garmin.com/support/commProtocol.html.
1. Turn off all requests by transmitting packet:
id = IOP_RQST_DATA (0x1C)
data = 0 (16-bit unsigned integer )
2. The GPS unit will respond by sending a packet with id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06)
3. After you receive the above packet, transmit packet:
id = IOP_BAUD_RQST_DATA (0x30)
data = baud rate to change to (32-bit unsigned integer; for example, 38400)
4. The GPS unit will respond by sending a packet:
id = IOP_BAUD_ACPT_DATA (0x31)
data = highest acceptable baud rate closest to what was requested
(32-bit unsigned integer; for example, 38361 decimal)
5. Determine the actual baud rate value from the data sent in step 4. This value will be within +/- 5% of the actual
baud rate. (For example, the GPS unit might send a baud rate of 38361, which correlates to a baud rate of
38400).
6. If the baud rate in step 5 is acceptable, transmit packet:
id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06)
data = IOP_BAUD_ACPT_DATA (0x31)
7. Sleep for a small amount of time, about 100 milliseconds, to make sure the packet in (6) was successfully
transmitted to the GPS unit.
8. Close the current connection to the GPS unit and immediately open a new connection with the new baud rate
obtained in step 5.
9. Immediately after establishing a connection, transmit packet:
id = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A)
data = IOP_ACK_PING (0x3A)
10. The GPS will respond by sending a packet:
id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06)
data = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A)
11. After you receive the above packet, transmit the same packet in step 9 again.
id = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A)
data = IOP_ACK_PING (0x3A)
12. The GPS will respond again with the same packet in step 10.
id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06)
data = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A)
13. The baud rate has been successfully changed upon receiving the above packet. If the GPS unit does not receive
these two IOP_CMND_DATA packets within two seconds, it will reset its baud rate to 9600.
