I recently bought a Navigator2 it has GPS and Traffic conditions. The Radio shack store here had A Garmin and the Navigator 2. It seems a lot of the locals like this one. It has all the points of interest. Here its a bit different as you usually put in your landmark. It is easy to use. You put in for instance San Pedro. Then go to restaurants and choose which one. I changed the voice commands to English and it is working well.

http://www.navsatcr.com/?lang=en is the Gold Standard of GPS maps for CR. You can buy a pre-loaded GPS device from them or just the map for a GARMIN gps.

If you know what you're doing, you can get the map for free.

I absolutely recommend the Navigator2. I have one and it helps me get in and around traffic jams in San Jose. It helps me get to meetings and appointments on time. I use it all the time.
