We suggest using the navigation application WAZE.  It is a free, but does require cellular connection.

If you do not have cell service while in Costa Rica an option could be for you to use WAZE at a location where you have WiFi and compare with the offline application you are using to navigate with.  In general travel times are usually a little longer than expected here in Costa Rica. Avoiding San Jose during peak rush hour is suggested.
