The following table describes the list's columns:

Column	Description
Title	Identifier of the basemap list item.
Display Name	Determines the label that appears in the Basemap Gallery.
Thumbnail Image	The URL to the thumbnail image.
Base Map Type	The type of basemap.  Available types are ArcGIS Server, Bing Maps, and OpenStreetMap.
