When you download EasyGPS onto your PC or laptop, you're presented with a rather bare, somewhat boring graphical user interface. Serious GPS applications are supposed to be great, as long as it fills the gap of inadequacies with intuitive, easy-to-use operations, easy-of-use applications and the like. Where EasyGPS falls short of the mark is in its lack of technical support and the way it restricts your creativity. If you're a serious user of GPS, you might consider getting a couple of the more expensive alternatives, like TomTom, Magellan or Navigon, because they provide more comprehensive mapping software and have better customer service. Otherwise, give EasyGPS a miss.
It's quite simple to use EasyGPS. You can simply type in the street name or address you want to track, and then hit the search button to generate a set of route recommendations. The beauty of this system is that the suggested route will match the shortest possible waypoints to your starting point, so that your route is actually traveling along the shortest route possible to avoid turns. To test this out, try running your route against the default Google Maps home page, and note which waypoints you've shortest route turned into. Not many other systems provide this information for you.
The only real problem with EasyGPS is that, even if you know how to program in routes on a computer and your GPS device of choice is on, finding waypoints can be an exercise in frustration. It can be almost impossible to know where waypoints are located when they're within a couple of miles of your position. Even if you have a detailed address and waypoint in hand, manually entering in waypoints can still be a hassle. Fortunately, there is an easy solution. EasyGPS provides turn-based route generation, which means that once you know your starting location and your destination, all you need to do is enter your waypoints into their data fields.
