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.
This helps me

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

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

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

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

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.
good,I want to download it

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!
Summary
Odd indeed

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.
Summary
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! :-)
