I tried Footprint for Central America and was fairly disappointed. LP is good in the sense it provides a good and quickly accessible overview. The info in the 2009 Colombia edition was pretty accurate, up to date and very helpful. Don't know about RG, Frommers and Bradt though, they may be good as well or even better. Wrong.
