Mayb save US map to SDcard since it's of no use??

Although leaving what is already in the internal memory will not affect operations, why leave your US map there to take up space if it is not being used? The internal memory is prone to corruption so you may lose your US map one day. Best is to move it to your PC as a back-up or you can store in your SD card if you have plenty of unused space but just remember that the US map (usually in a gmapprom.img file) can only be read if it resides in the internal memory.
Lean not on your own understanding

If your US maps comes with unlock key, remember to back that one up too, together with the map.
