The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities; shaded 
metropolitan areas; county boundaries; shaded public lands (such as 
national forests and parks); some major city streets; Interstate, U.S. 
and state highways; Interstate highway exits and exit services informa-
tion; large- and medium-sized lakes and streams; and more than 60,000 
navigation aids and 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in U.S. coastal and 
Great Lakes waters 

MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not 
found in the background map. MapCreate maps contain the searchable 
Points of Interest database, all the minor roads and streets, all the 
landmark features (such as summits, schools, radio towers, etc.); more 
rivers, streams, smaller lakes and ponds and their names. 

What's more important is the large scale map detail that allows your 
GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the 
background map would show you the general outline and approximate 
shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate 
shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many 
smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are, 
of course, in MapCreate. 

NOTE: 

Available through LEI Extras (look inside back cover for accessory 
ordering information), FreedomMaps are pre-made maps that con-
tain all of the same information available in a custom MapCreate 
map, without any of the work of preparation.

dots. As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the
