We study spatially localized excitations in a lattice of coupled standard maps. Time-periodic solutions (breathers) exist in a range of coupling that is shown to shrink as the period grows to infinity, thus excluding the possibility of time-quasiperiodic breathers. The evolution of initially localized chaotic and quasiperiodic states in a lattice is studied numerically. Chaos is demonstrated to spread
