Does EasyGPS run on Macintosh, Linux, or on my Mobile Phone or PDA?
EasyGPS is desktop software for Windows XP and Windows Vista. EasyGPS does not run on Windows 98, Windows NT, Mac OSX, Linux, or Unix. EasyGPS cannot be run on a mobile phone, Palm, or Windows PDA. If your smartphone uses the Palm or Windows Mobile operating systems, you can use EasyGPS to save data in GPX format, which can be read by dozens of GPX-enabled software programs that run on Palm and WM5 phones. EasyGPS can exchange waypoints, routes, and tracks with Garmin, Magellan, and other GPS receivers, but it does not actually run on the GPS or replace the GPS receiver's user interface.
Will EasyGPS work with my GPS receiver?
EasyGPS supports hundreds of handheld GPS receivers from Garmin, Magellan, and Lowrance. If your GPS doesn't have a screen (that is, if it is a GPS antenna or GPS mouse), or if your GPS isn't listed above, chances are you can still use it as an input to the GPS Tracking feature in ExpertGPS. Tracking works with any Bluetooth, Serial, or USB GPS receiver or antenna that outputs NMEA data to a virtual or physical COM port.
