1. Why should I rent a GPS in Costa Rica?
Except driving on a few major highways, driving in Costa Rica is like driving on the Moon: no road signs, no road exit signs, no street name signs and no house numbers.
When you have a map which shows you (example) to take Highway 1 to the north and turn right at Road 126, that information is quite useless if you there is no exit sign along Highway 1 saying 'Road 126 exit after 1000 feet'
General opinion among tourists who used a GPS in Costa Rica is that their GPS saved them 1 day per week of missed exits, driving around like nuts, making detours for no reason etc.
Also, it's not good for any relation 'fighting' in the middle of nowhere at a T-crossing without any signs, whether to turn left or right !
2. If there are no street names and house numbers, how do I find my destination?
Your Costa Rica GPS has 33.000 points of interest which include each and every hotel, shop, restaurant, ATM, bank, gas station,
hospital, police station, airport, car rental office, attraction, national park and city
Click on Menu then on Where To? > Points of Interest > Spell Name and enter a unique part of the name of your hotel or destination
Now select your destination from the list of possible destinations and click on Go!
To find an ATM or gas station near your location, you click on Menu then on Where To? > Points of Interest > ATM or Fuel and you see all ATM's and gas stations around you with the distance.

The GPS was a lifesaver. It brought us everywhere we wanted to go. All hotels where we stayed were in the GPS. We also used the GPS a lot to find restaurants and ATM's near the hotels where we stayed. - Shaun M., USA
Renting a GPS was the best business decision I made during my Costa Rica vacation. We don't understand how anyone can drive around in this beautiful country without one. - Manuel F., Basel, Switzerland
Dear Adrian, Thank you so much for the GPS, It has saved our marriage. See you in a few weeks. - Penny and Bill H.,Colorado, USA
We made it very easily to Jaco with Carmen Garmin (GPS) aiding us every step of the way. Ad, you were so right, GPS is the only way to go in this country. No problem, no worries. The purpose of this email to express our gratitude for you sticking with us yesterday. Your assistance helped us along our way making our Costa Rico vacation what we hoped it to be. We are very thankful fate sent you our way. - Janis & Bob G., Seattle, WA, USA
When our UK mobiles had no connectivity you provided us with a local mobile that did work and we were so glad that we took your recommendation and rented a GPS from you - it probably saved our holiday and marriage on a number of occasions when the absence of road signs left us floundering.
Keep up the good work - Alan & Pamela M., Tadworth, UK
