    I have zero experience with maps originally purchased on a SD card, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question:

    Is there a way to clone a map that was originally purchased on a SD card to a larger capacity SD card to allow for more local SD map storage (or alternatively, copy the map to some other storage media then copy back to a larger SD card)?

    It should be possible to 'clone' the microSD card, you could copy all files on the original to a folder on a computer and then write these files to a new microSD of maximum 32GB size, note that the large map file(s) will be accompanied by much smaller 'lock' files, these files must also be copied
