Too large & inaccurate for regular use
20 Mar 2007
Format:Map
The National Geographic Map series is a decent one, but this has a few glaring inaccuracies that make it untrustworthy for travel in Costa Rica. For starters, the roads and their markings are incorrect in a number of places; many roads were paved when they were marked as dirt (such as the trip from Union to Nuevo Arenal). Some landmarks were not on the map at all (Los Patos in Corcovado is not there, Sirena is on there twice). The division of the country right in the middle also makes it hard to navigate between the two sides.
It is very readable and clear, but between a lack of highlights on the locations, inaccuracies, and the size of the thing it makes the map not particularly useful for travel - there are far better options. I'd recommend the Toucan map series instead.

Useful and detailed
26 Jan 2004
Format:Map
I used this map when I visited Costa Rica and it was useful for finding certain natural protected areas, and for choosing which roads to use. Certainly it was water resistant when visiting the rainy Monteverde zone. If you go to Costa Rica, buy it.
