Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
"Does what it says on the tin!"
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! :-)

"Can't find my Garmin eTrex HC"
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!

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.

Version: Easy GPS Tester 1
Pros: Plain and easy interface
Cons: Dis not discover my GPS logger, only supports ports 1 through 15
Summary: Try the program if you have plain vanilla GPS receiver and it may work for you. Make sure you know lots of GPS specifics in general and your receiver in particular. read more
