• Doesn't Work with Garmin Nuvi 360

  danbovinichMay 24, 2015

  Pros

  Can't be any if it doesn't work.

  Cons

  Can't get it to connect to my Garmin Nuvi 360. The help file assumes that it will connect, so it doesn't have anything the help file to tell what if it can't connect. SO the program is worse then useless. I can't stand poorly written help files that are no help at all.

  Summary

  Use another program if you have a Garmin Nuvi 360.

  Pros

  Automatically detect your GPS device and display the COM port and baud rate setting which is required to use.

  Cons

  Not compatible with all Windows version.

• Does not function

  noeman5October 20, 2012

  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

  phmurphyDecember 1, 2010

  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.

• Does not work with Jentro BT-GPS8

  fauth1September 6, 2009

  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.

• May be useful

  jomuellerSeptember 5, 2009

  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.

• Can't find my Garmin eTrex HC

  thombrownAugust 3, 2008

  Pros

  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

  exmilitaryFebruary 3, 2007

  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!

  dreambreedFebruary 12, 2006

  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! :-)
