Incorrect. Your maps can be safely moved to the microSD card.
It is very simple.
On your SD card:
In the \Garmin folder create 2 folders named BirdsEye & CustomMaps
Move the files from the same named folders on your GPS to those new SD card folders.
Done.
Now you will have all the space you need on your GPS for any tracklogs, waypoints etc.
