I used this map along with one from Toucan Maps and one published by thecostaricamap.com. I found each of the three maps to be the best at times and used them equal amounts of time. The map from [...] had the most useful scale as I could look at a 12 x12 inch section of the map and look at the entire route for the day at a scale that still showed the principal towns and roads.
The National Geographic map was the best for going to the national park areas as it was more current than the Toucan Maps map for these areas. It also provides topographic information which the Toucan map of Costa Rica does not. The Toucan is like a standard USA street map while the National Geographic Adventure map is just what its name states.
None of the maps showed all the small towns and villages and none of them provide any guidance for getting from one end of the town where a highway ends and the other where it begins again. This is where a Costa Rica GPS map and guidance is more useful than any paper map I have been able to find. As the maps take up very little space and are relatively inexpensive I recommend buying both this map and the Toucon map and buying a downloadable GPS map with guidance as well.
Fortunately my Spanish was good enough to ask for directions and understand the people's responses most of the time. I also learned that the shopkeepers were the most helpful. If I asked someone on the street they would usually say they did not know where the road was to the next town. I did learn that I needed to ask the road to the next village instead of the next large town. Most of the people get around the country on the excellent Costa Rican buses and so I suspect that they do not really think about how to drive from one city to the next having never had to do it themselves.
