Agree with the above but would add: purchase a larger microcard.
Not sure what your unit came with but you can upgrade to at least 2 Gb; maybe larger is available and cheap enough now. Then you can carry all these maps at one time.
NB I had all of Europe on my unit this summer and it does increase the unit startup time, perhaps by 20 seconds...
You can also store any other kind of files on a larger card, e.g. document scans. Presumably they won't be read by the Garmin and won't affect the unit. I haven't tried mixing formats on one card so can someone confirm that? Otherwise, use the smaller card that came with the Garmin from the retailer as a back-up to carry other types of files.
