Does it actually not work, or do you simply not have the necessary maps?
AFAIK, all commercial GPSs function everywhere on the planet.
From looking at the Garmin site, it doesn't appear that their City
Navigator series covers Costa Rica. Their WorldMap product probably
does, but it's only available on CD-ROM; it can't be downloaded.
It's not clear from the site how much detail there is for Central America.
Which has nothing to do with the actual functioning of the GPS. Caribbean and
Central and South American maps are available for Garvin GPS's from sources
other than Garvin thermselves.
Google is your friend.
