Pros and cons of Costa Rica GPS Map app for iPhone and iPad

Costa Rica GPS Map app good for

Perhaps this gps is not like Google navigation or garmin, but two times it helps us to find our way when lost in non easy roads. Combined with a classical map, it was a nice help during our trip to costa rica, with an attractive price. You could improve centralized database with easier search on map or voice for directions. Good luck for improvements !
If you plan to drive in Costa Rica, you should get this app. Dont ask for too much but this will really help you not to get lost. Roads in Costa Rica are crap, no signs, … and a offline GPS is a must have. 3D is too slow used with iPhone 4S, 2D was fine.
I used this app with my iphone 3GS when i was in very remote parts of Costa Rica, it worked great! The app could use more labels for roads and small towns but i guess thats a lot to ask when youre traveling in a country that doesnt bother with road signs! It gets updated with new features, label and POIs so it should continue to improve. The app did what it said, i got to my locations without getting lost and when i cross referenced the app with a conventional paper map it was very accurate. I would recommend this app to anyone looking for a budget GPS/Nav. Excellent alternative to the expensive GPS/Nav maps, price is acceptable but needs more labels for roads and towns, also need to speed up the operation as it was very slow to respond, not sure if its the remote locations, GPS chip or possible signal strength. I will use this app every time im in CR.
Very handy for the price. Locals were quite impressed by it, and other travelers got it right away. Im a map geek, I have maps of everything, everywhere I go. Ive been to CR a dozen times, and this app was open most of the time while traveling thus time. Is if perfect? No- but its a very usable map and kept me from getting lost dozens of times, any one of which would have been worth the price AND doesnt use any cell data. I didnt use the 3-D map mode. Having the entire map driven by landmarks perfectly reflects Tico navigation and also lets you answer, "whats that thing over there?" Wish list: • more prominent placename labels • display search results by proximity or province/town • maybe use of colour for different map elements • a MOB button - maybe holding down the "Switch" icon on the main screen, to easily add a new location • having your own Added locations available in the Search menu - so you dont have to go to Edit Location to when you want to navigate to an added location. • river & lake labels

Some bad moments

Still lots of bugs, and a very primitive interface. Very far from the functionnality of a Tom Tom, but true, you dont pay the same price. I have been waiting a long time for a gps for Costa Rica on my iphone, rather than using a Garmin, I must say that this one needs lot more work...Developpers, a little more effort, keep on!
You can not find the street you need, the ergonomics is poor, no way to memorized a favorite. I am using an iPhone 6
I downloaded and went to costa rica. The app does not calculate any route, does not show any location, does not work at all. Asked for my money back. It is a shame Apple allows such a bad quality app in app store.
This app is unusable! Didnt work at all (neither on Iphone nor on ipad), got Stück everytime I strated the navigation, wrong street names in San José - just awful! Not worth any money - I want Mine back!!!
The app doesnt really work neither outside nor inside Costa Rica. It manages to localize you but doesnt direct. If it finally works, you see a blue line in a "map" that looks like drawn but without any sound. I had to buy a local SIM card and use google maps.
Hello! I download this App to navigate in Costa Rica. It was no use because the localisation was to Slow. So i ended up using googlemaps Navigation. 8,99 € is too much.
