Old map on still SD card

[The Stimulator]

Daft question here for all you NAV V gurus.

Having bought my Nav V in October last year, I updated it to the latest map, and Garmin Express placed that on my SD card, rather than replacing the original that was on the internal memory. As I had a large SD card, and not much music this didn't bother me at all.

When I updated again a couple of weeks ago to NTU 2017.3, this automatically went onto my internal memory. I was surprised to see 2017.2 still on the SD card as a gmapprom.img file. The Nav V and Basecamp are both now using 2017.3, so I was wondering if there was any reason why I couldn't simply delete the older map from the SD card.

I know I can always take a backup of the SD card and just try it, but I wanted some idea first rather than spending a while trying to get back to where I am now. Course, I could always just leave the old map as well as i'm not space limited.

Old map still on SD card

Not only a bit of a daft question, but my ability to speak English was missing when I wrote the title. Obviously a TGIF moment......

there's a worry!
I didn't notice the incorrect title, just read it as it was intended....

No problem deleting the old image from the sd card, with one caveat, some of your saved routes may (or may not) recalculate when loaded on the newer map, this may also apply to your routes stored in basecamp when loaded onto the newetr map. you could also delete the old map files from your pc/mac if you wish to gain some space on your hdd.
