Customer Comments

Here are a few notes from people that have used our maps.

I have tried your software. It is great, very accurate. Everything got smoothly. Thank you.

— Sergio from Sasso Rent A Car, Escazu, Costa Rica (April, 2011)

This year we were there for 1 month and put about 2,500 miles on the rental car, so we saw a lot of the country but there is still so much more to see. With the help of a National geographic road map and your GPS map navigating the country was no problem. As I mentioned before my laptop was stolen while we were there and was missed, with your map in Mapsource this was our main planning tool.

— Ed from Canada (March, 2011)

Just got back, your map had it, it was called Casa de Lola. Map worked great no problems. Thank you.

— Kenneth from USA (December, 2010)

I'm back from CR. I have to tell you that your map worked great in CR!!!! I think it is a wonderful map! There are many, many small tracks…… I think that my problem was that I tried think as street routing on your map while I was in Germany! Please tell other users that may be because of the distance – your map works well on an Garmin device such as Oregon 450T being/standing in the right country!

— Johannes from Germany (October, 2010)

Just came back from Costa Rica. WORKS PERFECT!!!

— Frans from Belgium (August, 2010)

Many thanks for your fine Costa Rica map. It bailed us out on many on occasions, coming through with extraordinary detail in the places we needed it most. For example, with a bridge out between Atenas and San Ramon we relied entirely on the GPS to find us a route through the highlands. From the road, farm lanes and through roads were indistinguishable to the eye. The GPS armed with your map saw us through perfectly. I can't imagine vacationing in Costa Rica without it. Thanks again.

— Nick from the USA (April, 2010)

Our trip in Costa Rica went quite well. All in all, your map was extremely helpful as we drove, sailed and hiked the country.

— Mark from the USA (June, 2009)

The map was very helpful and performed fine on my Nuvi 200.

— Lisa from the USA (May, 2009)

Wow...your map is beautiful!
