I’ve decided that my primary source of navigation will be whatever paper maps I can pick up at the airport.

I’ll guess what happened is that navsatcr.com is legit and has legal copyright, and the outfit that I bought the map from was selling illegal counterfeit copies.[quote=”wseverin”]… I’ll post again in a day or two to let you know if they seem any good and if they seem legit.[/quote]
The map card arrived this morning. This afternoon, before I’d even had a chance to plug it into the GPS to see if it’s any good, I received an email from eBay saying that they’ve removed the product listing because they have been informed that the product is counterfeit. As I believe in upholding copyrights, that’s 40 bucks down the drain.
Be very careful about buying your maps on eBay.
My wife and I also are planning a two-week trip to CR in January. I have a Garmin unit so I searched for compatible maps. I found a fellow on eBay who sells customized maps for Garmin, three Central-American county maps for $39.99. He claims they are locally created, and that they are routable. His eBay id is globalzulia. The maps are supposed to arrive by DHL from Venezuela tomorrow. I’ll post again in a day or two to let you know if they seem any good and if the seem legit.
