Product Description:
Folded travel map in color with highways, roads and traveler's information. Distinguishes 4 levels of highways and roads, including seasonal roads and tracks. Color changes show elevation levels. Includes national parks and eco-tourist sites, locations of beaches and other places of interest. Icons locate archeological sites, hotels, museums, beaches, active volcanoes, surfings sites, filling stations, bird sanctuaries, border crossings, palm groves, lighthouses, reefs, swamps. Icons distinguish international airports, domestic airports and landing strips. Inset maps include downtown San Jose and the San Jose environs (airport locator map). Index to help locate towns and cities. Latitude/longitude grid. Printed on two sides. Waterproof. Scale 1:300,000. As of 2008, the current printing of this map has weak folds that are prone to splitting.

An alternative by ITMB is the Costa Rica paper version (ISBN 1553411781).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Costa Rica map
Got the map within one week - Fast. It's a good product and much better than the "rental car company map" and any of the other C.R. maps I've seen. You may not need a map this detailed, but if you're driving around a lot, I'd recommend it.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good cartography, bad construction
I have to second the two-star review by Amanda. While the cartography is good (easy to read, nice colors), the map itself is extremely fragile along its folds. Even when I first opened it there were perforations that were large enough for light to shine through. These, of course, turned into splits. Probably okay for a short trip, but don't expect this to last you a long time. Maybe try Waterproof Travel Map of Costa Ricaor National Geographic Costa Rica Adventure Map, both of which are waterproof as well.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Map for Costa Rica
I just returned from Costa Rica and this map was great. Much better than the map provided by the rental car agency. It's durable design makes it tear proof. The country is divided North and South so everything is large and easy to read. The roads to the tourist destinations are in good shape(no potholes like I was expecting). Driving in Costa Rica was easy, although there are a lot of trucks and busses that slow you down. I would recommend this map to anyone going to Costa Rica both for planning before you go and for use on the road.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous Map
This map has a lot of small places on it and was a BIG help driving in unfamiliar places that do not have road signs. We were able to tell we were on the right road by looking at the small town names and catching the town names off the churches once we were going through the city. Also we were able to see what town was coming up to check the rare signs with distances to the next larger place.

This map is way better then the free map you get in Costa Rica. That one is detailed - but not as detailed as this map. It omits a LOT of small back roads, small cities and even medium sized cities and this map has many of them included.

The map is easy to read and the waterproofing was great.... we were not there in the rainy season but had a 6 year old with us (enough said!)

We did not do a lot of remote driving, but when we were driving we were certainly referring to this map.
