If the specific baud rate is defined in the spec then we shouldn't be
providing knobs to turn to change it.

If the specification is intended to make sure that other equipment constrained to operate at 4800 baud can talk to it, I'd say that that portion of the specification is not applicable here. The two devices; e.g. the computer and the GPS receiver can safely be allowed to operate at whatever baud rates both are capable of. Of course if the receiver happens to be capable of generating only five characters per second, even changing the baud rate to 115K won't help.
