Yes also use the montana. When I send a new map to the montana using Javawa Device Manager, I rename the filename, mapname, etc. This new map will then be enabled in all profiles on the montana, after sending you can disable the map in all the profile exept the one you want to use it in. ( it can be the other way around as I dont have the montana by hand at this moment)

Montana 600 for me
As Petrus says maps are available under all profiles, so you need to disable the ones you don't want in a particular profile
Access the map setup as Bertrand posted above. You can then enable/disable each map leaving one enabled in that profile. Repeat for other profiles and then when you change your profile your enabled map is displayed.
Then switching profiles switches the active map quickly

An apology to The Warden and to everyone
I was wrong  as trying to enable/disable maps in my 600 was erratic hence my call to Garmin who confirmed that it was not possible.
This has nagged me as it seemed strange that it would work one minute and not the next on my unit- so I did a hard reset- and it now works.
I telephoned Garmin again this morning and was initially told again that it could only be done with the original profiles- 
This did not make sense to me so the matter was escalated to a more knowledgeable boffin and, lo and behold: YES, it can be done.
Apologies again to all for my bum steer!

Glad you got it worked out, it really is nice feature and I use it a lot on my trips depending if I'm following a planned off road route or want turn by turn directions in a town. Obviously you can customise so much its not just the maps that are different but the dashboards etc as well.

My 600, 64ST and Monterra have all been customised from top to bottom. The 600 though was the one which gave me erratic workings on the map selection only. Strange -
Just like most electronic items, (and occasionally humans!) they all need a hard reset at times!
