"I've been getting to use my Garmin with your GPS Map of Japan and I wanted to let you know that I really love it!! It helps me out a lot. It took a while trying to figure out the best way to to get to places, but, like you said train stations and places works best. Thank you, I Tried other Japan GPS and it's not as good. Glad I found you online!" - Carol

Doug, I just wanted to let you know that I have tested the software in Costa Rica and it exceeds my expectations. I am now a believer and very impressed with the accuracy of the maps and POI's. For Costa Rica, this is a MUST! - Dave

Just got back from Costa Rica where we spent 6 weeks travelling all over the country from Liberia in the North to Golfito in the South, and from Samara in the West to Cahuita in the East. The GPS map I bought from you for my Nuvi operated outstandingly. It was especially helpful going through the Central Valley cities of Alajuela, San Jose, and Cartago. "Zoe" (as we call the map voice) kept us informed every step of the way. In San Jose she said things like "Approaching a roundabout, take the second exit". From that we were able to get in the correct lane, observe the traffic and not even bother to look for road signs or a paper map. Probably saved my marriage!! Thanks for a great product. - Tim

I just returned from over 6000 kms of Federal Highway travel - from Puerto Vallarta south thru Manzanillo, Acapulco, Oxaca, Palenke, Quintana Roo - Tulum & the Cancun area, back thru the Yucatan, Veracruz, Puebla, DF (Mexico City), Guadalajara and back to PV. I was amazed at the accuracy of the Mexico GPS Atlas in Distrito Federal - that is one huge city. The Atlas actually gave better directions than my family - who lives in DF since childhood. In many rural areas, the Atlas allows you to navigate the roads in a confident manner - rarely getting you lost. And those times you do get lost is usually due to highway changes not yet updated by MAPAS. The Atlas is certainly a step in the right direction for any traveler not using (only) the main highways. - Steve

I have purchased the Panama GPS Street Map from Doug and have to say that it has been an absolute lifesaver. I just would not be able to drive here in Panama without it. With his map in my Garmin, I have no problem finding my way around Panama City, which is normally, no easy feat. Doug's help in the purchasing and installing of the software to my Garmin unit was fantastic. Thanks Doug for your great software and help. - Sadu

"I've cycled America, Japan, Puerto Rico, and southern Europe by GPS. I hiked the 1,800 mile Shikoku Trail in Japan and navigate by GPS when I'm paddling. I was thinking of starting a site of my own, then I came across yours. 'This guy's got it right,' I thought." - Jonathan
