Forerunner 965: Updating TopoActive Europe Maps

Hi All, I recently received an email from Garmin informing me that my FR965 had been manufactured for sale in the European market, but had shipped without the full TopoActive Europe map installed on the watch.

So I followed their guide document at: https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=bfe7eLIDzS9VoiKq8sqGTA&productID=886725&tab=topics

I've got the option to install only one of the following at any one time, with the "Change Region" option via Garmin Express:

TopoActive Europe

Topo Active Europe - Central

Topo Active Europe - East

Topo Active Europe - West

What I don't understand is that do all these maps offer the same level of detail or does the overall "TopoAcitve Europe" one cover a wider area but have less map detail than the regional ones or is it the same detail level as the regional ones?

So if you want fullest detail you install the regional one? Or are they all the same detail, just covering different areas to save watch space if you don't need a full area?

I can only install one of these at any time, I can't install say the East and West ones, is this correct?

In short, I don't understand how these relate to each other? Does the overall Europe one cover all the areas of the regional ones, with the same level of details, but takes up much more space? So if you don't need the full area, you simply install the regional one you want, saving space on the watch, but with no lack of map detail?

Many thanks for any help, it's much appreciated as you can see I'm getting myself confused with this!  

Cheers,

Andy.
