1. this seems to be a thourough map,only one problem it does not have a city or town index....they are listed on the map but you have to look a bit to find them which kinda sux if your not sure of the general area



2. I traveled many times in Costa Rica and this one is the most accurate and detailed map I found. Much better than the awful Tourist map they give you when renting a car.

   It's also shaded with mountains, very useful to estimate travel time. Even the smallest villages & roads are on it. Thumbs up!

1. I recently bought this book and have found it generally useful for planning my first trip. The book is well organized and gives a great overview of activities and places to see before it guides you through each region.

   However, those interested in adventure travel that veers off the beaten path a little more may be wise to purchase a second book that delves more into these sorts of offerings, as this book does not cover this sort of thing very well.

   Over all, though, it's a good book to have.

1. This book is very similiar to the AAA guidebooks available in the US for US states.

   It has an alright section describing the Tico culture and food and such, but nothing that couldn't be gleaned from another guidebook. It has a lot of listings of hotels and restaurants for the entire country, but like the AAA book has no objective comments (everything is good). The descriptions of the hotels are about one or two sentences long and are not useful in making a decision on where to stay.

   This book does have good color photos and pretty good regional maps (for trip planning, not detailed enough for driving).

   I could see this book being useful for someone on the run and just looking for ANY hotel in a town at 6:00 p.m., but it isn't very useful for trip planning.

   The Frommer's guidebook is much, much more useful.
