Maps of Costa Rica
We didn't set out to publish the #1 bestselling map of Costa Rica but we didn't set out to get lost either. After searching in vain for years for a decent map (all the while collecting GPS data for our own use) we decided to make one. Now we have not only the waterproof travel and road map but dozens of free printable maps, a huge (2 meters on a side) wall map and tens of thousands of geocoded photos and points of interest. We even provided the 144,000 zoom tiles for maps.google.com until they could acquire their own data in about 2012.
