WAZE, GPS app for Android phones in Costa Rica

[gkbiz]

“Using either the GPS unit in your car or the Waze app on your cell phone — or both — will be great aids to your navigational needs”.
Is the WAZE app available in English in Costa Rica? It was recently recommended in an article on Costa Rica Driving Tips in WLCR

Thanks for the reply. The attached link was really interesting. You did not answer if communication is available in English. Since I have never used the app, I don’t know how the app communicates with the USER.

Yes, WAZE will talk to you in English, if that’s what you want. But it will talk in “miles”, not kilometers, although I think you can change that under settings.
