 Rating:  - Love my previous edition - ordering the new oneAfter moving to Costa Rica, I had made a point to collect all the maps I could, but I hadn't seen one that had virtually all the information I needed. I discovered a prior edition of this mapwhen a friend consulted it to plot a course. This map had the best detail map of the central valley I have ever seen, showing all the back roads that are the only ways to cross over from one main road to another, but which are unmarked and nobody tells you about them. I have used my copy religiously ... Read More Rating:  - Not so greatI had seen the National Geographic map and ordered this one because of the wonderful reviews. I now regret it. The scale is just not good enough to navigate the roads of Costa Rica. In fact I ended up on a trail heading out of San Ramon and had no idea where I was- luckily I had a 4 x4 and competency in Spanish so I could get a man on a motorcycle to drive me out of there! Another glaring omission is a decent map of San Isidro del General! I met a man there with a map from the automobile club that was at ... Read More Rating: - Great map with enough detail to get aroundThis map had enough detail for us to track where we are in Costa Rica, as well as detail maps of the areas we visited. With this and a guide book we were doing pretty well at planning where we wanted to go. Rating:  - Better than GoogleWhile you can get a lot of the same information from Google, I found it difficult to get context for various cities in the country. Since I am consiering moving there, I needed this to know how long it might take to reach certain services (Hospitals and clinics). There is a minor amount of what appears to be paid for location siting, most of them are fairly halpful. I would have liked to see the location of various farmer's markets. Rating: - Nice mapThis is a very nice quality, easy to read, larger print, durable map. It is well made and lasted through 2 weeks in Costa Rica. Hotels, restaurants, beaches, activities and parks are listed as well as a mini Spanish lesson of common phrases. We'll be taking it again next month when we head back down.
