Does anyone know what the content of the various basemaps is?

I can infer what Americas Lite and World wide are. But what more does Americas Standard give you over Americas Lite ? And what is Atlantic Lite and Standard compared to the Americas Lite and Standard? And then there is Pacific Lite and Standard as well. I have looked for documentation and can't find any.

The major differences between the "lites" and the standards is the level of detail. I found the Americas Lite had interstates and major state roads, but no secondary roads. For me it was not worth the memory it used. I loaded the Standard and most state roads are included. I have now switched to the World map, which is useful in European travel, as well as a good world map with reasonable detail. The World includes the "Standard" maps for the various reqions.

If you have a card with some extra space, don't bother with the Lite maps.
