I note that only my location (NA) region maps are preloaded on my sapphire screen watch. I had expected multiple (all) regions. Of course there is a lot of free memory so I have options. Anyons note anything different?

No, I think this is standard. I have only Europe preloaded.
Same here, only North America
There is not enough space to have all regions preloaded even with 32GB. You will have your local region loaded for Sapphire (confirmed on my Epix) and none loaded for non-Sapphire which is 16GB, from what I can tell.
Mine also in NA - disappointed given DCR and others said global maps pre-loaded but not enough memory for all regions
It's worse. You can't load additional maps even though you have plenty of space.
I have the NA topo maps preloaded. So in Garmin Express I added a few others. It said there wasn't room to add Europe. OK, I can live with that. But on the watch, in Map Manager, it says I have updates on all the maps I added in Garmin Express. When I try to update them, however, it says there's not enough room, even though I have about 17 GB of space left.
So it looks like you can only have one map loaded on the watch at a time, which really sucks if you plan to travel outside your region, cause it's almost impossible to load multiple GBs of data abroad.
Am I missing something?
I have NA + Europe with room to spare on my Epix Sapphire right now. However, they had a bug whereby Europe would not load correctly from Garmin Express. See more info here:

I'd be happy to help if needed (spent quite a bit of time debugging the issue and verifying the fix).
There was quite a bit on confusion on the topic from reviewer but yes, only the map for the region of sale is uploaded (that's still a bunch of different SKUs for Garmin) and there is definitely space for more maps, but not all maps.
Currently have NA + Europe loaded with 5.3GB available. Note that they had a bug (at least for Europe) when loading from Garmin Express that has been fixed a couple of days ago (without any firmware or Garmin Express change).

Me too. Worse, when I added maps in Garmin Express, they don't actually get added to the watch. They just get listed as needing updates. When you try to update them, it says there's not enough memory, even though my watch still has 17 GB free memory. What gives?
Do you actually have both on your watch. Go to the watch's Map Manager and see if you have access to both. I'll bet it will say one of them needs to be updated. When you try to do so, it will say there's not enough disk space.
