Normally up to 2 GB? There's not many BlueChart g2 that are close to 2 GB. Specially not the Small regions.
On the other hand there's many BlueChart g2 Vision charts that are over 2 GB in file size, booth Large and Regular regions.

All BlueChart g2 cartridges are identified by a 7- or 8-digit ID code. This identification system uses the following convention:
Garmin datacards:
microSD™/SD™ cards & download versions:
Region (xx) codes include the following:
AE = Asia, East (Japan, China, Indonesia, etc.)
AW = Asia, West
EU = Europe (includes Mediterranean Sea)
RU = Eastern Europe / Russia
SA = South America
AF = Africa
CA = Canada
PC = Pacific Ocean (Australia, New Zealand, etc.)
US = U.S. and the Caribbean
Size of coverage (z) codes include:
P = petite/ x small
S = small
R = regular
L = large
X = x-large

on a related matter, i always wondered if map detail of selecting many small areas had the same detail level as selecting the single larger area that covered the same geographic locations. ...without knowing, i've always just selected all relevant map areas even though they overlapped and counted against my total allowable number of maps (unit has the 2025 map limit)
