Rent or buy?

I just returned from a 10 day trip in Costa Rica and I rented a Garmin GPS (with the latest Costa Rica maps installed) through the car rental company for $10.00 per day. Depending on your length of stay this might be cheaper than spending $150.00 on a map for your personal garmin.

From all my research and talking to people who visit Costa Rica frequently this is considered the best mapping for Costa Rica:

This is the same map that I used and it was terrific.

NOTE: Getting around Costa Rica without a GPS is almost impossible since there are no street signs and they don't use addresses. Everything is POI's with distances from other POI's.

Here are a couple of screenshots of the maps of San Jose from the Open Street Maps routable maps.
