If you have a fast internet connection, GooogleEarth.com is a great resource for getting to know Costa Rica. There are high res satellite pics of almost the entire central valley, as well as many portions of the coasts. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll be amazed.
They say experts can see a couple doing it on the beach with this resolution. With the new resolution available only to the US military, they can tell whether or not they’re enjoying it. I’d close your curtains if I were you.
Since many people are not nearly as familar with the internet and computers as you are gringoTico, would you please do us a favour and give us the actual links that we can see? So that people can just click on the link?

But I’m curious to what you can see people doing on the beach. Is it something to do with sandcastles? Gimmee a clue!Seriously though, he’s right, it’s good for San Jose area etc and some of the beach areas but you won’t find much of the rest of the country with any decent resolution. I wanted to find my coffee plantation near Turrialba but all I can see is trees – and nobody seems to be doing anything up there.
I was rather hoping for the EXACT URL that we could click on that would take us directly to ther Costa Rica images

You can’t see the images unless you download the software from http://www.googleearth.com. Don’t even think about it unless you have a fast internet connection.
Not sandcastles, but yes scandalous. Sorry about the vulgar reference. My more elegant descriptions were evidently blocked by Scott’s commie cyber censor. Is that the same software Google’s using in China?
Author’s edit: The censorship turned out to be the result of my own t Cybersitter running on my computer to keep the kids in line. My apologies to Scott.

You don’t have to use GoogleEarth, the maps.google.com site has pretty much the same images.
Por ejemplo:
the image of the airport can be found at:
