Very few, if any. He went along on some (fairly uneventful) travels to South America but in a very minor capacity and not as an 'explorer'. Back home, he wrote about the lands he had visited (as did many others, by the way) but never was seen as the ultimate authority on the newly discovered world. It would have been much of a pleasant surprise to him and the people around him that a German map-maker decided to link his name to the territory - possibly just because the map-maker had recently seen or read one of his travel-books.
Later historians have much debated whether America really was named after Amerigo Vespucci. A majority still thinks so, for lack of any more plausible source of the name. Others have argued that the earliest map of parts of the North American coast has been drawn up by an expedition financed by a group of British merchants led by Richard Ameryk and that this earliest map already calls the land "America", meaning "the lands found by the Ameryk expedition".
The jury is still out on this, with good ol' Amerigo so far having the best papers.
Amerigo Vespucci was challenged during his voyages because the lands he experienced were not what he was anticipating. His greatest obstacle was the last voyage when the majority of the crew fell ill, including Vespucci.
He killed thousands of Indians and lied about some voyages.Had many errors.
