Thanks Krico for the advice! Big reason for question 1 was what if I had a 4:00 urge for some action. I read that I shouldn't walk at night, so wanted to check the taxi situation haha
Jim, 4am is the HDR.
Taxis are hard to find outside the clubs after about 2am, but they will summon one with little issue.
The orange airport taxis are less likely to have a jacked-up meter than a random red street taxi, because it is easier for them to get reported on. The last time I came in I chatted to my cabbie about it, and he said there is a phone number to report the abuse, and all you need is the taxi number and date/time. Of course I don't know the number, so what da heck do I know.

Taxi by phonecall:" - DAMN GOOD QUESTION! Kudos bud! Yes there are and all the hotels,clubs, etc know them, but I suspect you need to speak Spanish to be truly understood. Ask at your hotel desk for their numbers they use.
Camaraderie: - TEHO. Most guys will not approach you. If you want to be a part of a group, you need to walk up and ask to join. I've never been rejected, though occasionally I find a group I don't click with. Just make it a habit to meet all the guys you come across and you'll find compatible wingmen quickly.
Google Maps works well. However it is spotty outside of the gulch due to tower distances. On the bus ride to Cartago, there was a 20 minute span where my position never updated, and then jumped 10 miles east.
Don't walk at night on your first trip. Get your bearings and the feel for the streets. I'll see ya down there.
