Publisher's Description
From GlobalPositioningSystems.co.uk:
Easy GPS Tester will automatically detect your USB or serial GPS device and display the COM port and baud rate settings required to use it. It will also show your current latitude, longitude and altitude, and information about GPS signal strength and the satellites in view. It is ideal for testing your GPS before using it with sat nav software, or if you think your GPS is faulty and not picking up satellites.

"Does not function"
Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Pros
There are no pros, it doesn't work.
Cons
Downloaded 3 different times, fully installed and uninstalled each time. Will not run at all, it says "Component tabctl32.ocx or one of it's components not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." This happens with every installation and every time I attempt to run it.
Summary
Worthless unless the proper files are included in the download.

"Worked but one glitch and one request"
Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Pros
Found my GPS (RoyalTek).
Cons
The lat/lon were off by two decimal points. A value of 40.01 was shown as 4001.
I would like to be able to cut and paste the values, but they are not available to cut.Summary
Could be improved with just a little work I hope.

Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Pros
Nothing I can say
Cons
Detects device on COM-port, but does not identify it as GPS device.
Try "GPS Diagnostics", which dows work with my Jentro.Summary
Try it - but don't rely on it.

"Can't find my Garmin eTrex HC"
Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Cons
I installed the Easy GPS Tester and the USB drivers from the Garmin site. I rebooted, hooked up the GPS and started the program. I clicked the Auto Detect button and it scanned Com1 and Com2-15 which do NOT exist! No mention of any USB ports! Not worth the price!

"Odd indeed"
Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Pros
Small program, easy to use, BUT...
Cons
It wouldn't detect my Garmin Rino 120 on my computer. I could find my GPS using "Mapsource" on Serial Port 9. In this software, not even Auto Detect could find my Garmin. Would have liked to have seen what info it could have found.

"Does what it says on the tin!"
Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Pros
I was having trouble getting my GPS to work - the software I was trying to use it with just kept saying that the device didn't exist. Easy GPS Tester breaks the problem down into three stages - COM port found, device found on COM port, device is a GPS. It turned out that although the COM port existed no device could be found - my serial cable was faulty. I replaced this and Easy GPS Tester found the GPS straight away and gave me all of the settings I needed to use. Very simple, but did the job.
Cons
Interface isn't the most beautiful in the world! :-)
