I'm off to Costa Rica in a week, and instead of paying $8 / day for the GPS, I thought I'd buy a system (which I've researched seperately).

I'm trying to get a decent map for Costa Rica, because I think the base map has jack squat. http://buy.garmin.com doesn't have a Costa Rica map.

I've found EzFind (http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Day-version-of-the-EzFind-The-Costa-Rica-GPS_W0QQitemZ220250668671QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGPS_Ma ps_Software?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116), but it's stupid expensive. I've also found TravelByGPS (http://www.travelbygps.com/premium/costa/rica.php) which seems like a cheaper alternative....

Will the latter have WayPoints (ie I can type in the address of my hotel and it will route me there), or will it just be a moving map with my GPS

Maybe I'm better off spending the $70 for the total cost of the rental?

Thanks for your help!

Call the rental company's office in CR and ask what kind of GPS they have or call Garmin customer service and ask about maps for CR.

I have used this map twice. It has what the other do not have - hiking, countour lines and the back roads - which most roads in Costa Rica are back roads! ^
