Book Reviews of Costa Rica: Waterproof Travel Map of Costa Rica

Book Review: Excellent Map of Costa Rica
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased the newest version of this map (2010) before my trip to Costa Rica. In addition, we had a GPS Costa Rican map (for a US Garmin) for our trip and brought several other maps that we had been loaned. This map is awesome. On our first night, we drove from San Jose to Arenal in the dark. Once we arrived, the loaned maps were re-packed. The GPS would sometime say we were off the road and on a different road, and we could easily find our location with this map. Not going to lie, we used the GPS most of the time, but whenever there was a question (which there frequently was) we could use logic to figure out our heading with this map. We did ask for directions twice, but that was not because of the map, but because the roads in Costa Rica are poorly labeled. I drove over 900km (~560 mi) over paved, unpaved, and 4x4 trails all over the country, and I have to say, without it we would have been lost several times. It was well worth the small price. The 12 liters of fuel you burn if you get lost in Costa Rica will more than pay for the price of the map. It is durable and easy to read. Bonus: I contacted the publishers with a question, and they immediately responded. Their website is packed with information that is referenced in the map. Buy yourself a copy before you go, whether you are driving or not -- the map also has up-to-date information about hotels, points of interest, etc.
