There is a great amount of literature on Costa Rica. This package contains a good part of the information neccesary to navigate the
country.

We took busses and planes while in Costa Rica. This was a good map for planning our itenerary and making final decisions. You still need to converse with locals and bus schedules etc while there. taxi drivers were good sources as well.
Look for a better map of San Jose if you plan to stay more than a couple of days. Lots to see there if you want. We rode the busses all over and the drivers were good at dropping you at odd places or picking you up if you flagged them down.
Really good Costa Rica Map February 12, 2008

This map is very large and as such has a lot of detail on it. The map is well marked and very easy to read. It does not have as many tourist location marks on it (i.e. where things you want to see are located). For that I recommend the Insight FlexiMap. I would recommend getting both maps: one map for details and one for specific locations.

We drove from San Jose, to Arenal, to Punta Islita, to Tamarido, to Liberia. I bought this map as well as the Waterproof Travel Map of Costa Rica, based on reviews I read that each gave important/different type of info and both would be useful. I ended up using the Waterproof Travel Map of Costa Rica about 99% of the time - it does an excellent job of detail on roads/landmarks/hotels/restaurants, and is for the most part up-to-date. This Globetrotter map however lacks in significant, updated detail. I would have been disappointed to have only had this map. The only 1% of the time that it was useful was that it labeled the bridge onto the Nicoya Peninsula as the 'Bridge of Friendship' (this actually wasn't labeled on the other map) and we looked forward to crossing it the entire trip (we were traveling with friends).
Now that I've told you about the Bridge of Friendship...skip this map.
