Anyone Using Abacus EZ-GPS v4?

What intrigues me about this program is it's apparent ability to fly a coupled approach to a runway with no published approaches. It sounds like it will create a 3 deg glideslope if no ILS is available as stated in the manual:

"If an ILS approach with a glide slope is available for the runway, the EZ-GPS V4 will use it to
determine the glide slope angle and the touchdown point. If an ILS approach is not available, the glide
slope is set at 3° and the touchdown point is set at 150 feet from the runway end."

Does anyone have this program and if so, does the coupled approach to a non ILS runway work well?

I tried contacting Abacus with this question and got no response.
