Which map to keep on my fenix 6s Pro?

Hi, I have a Fenix 6s Pro that I bought in the US and am using in an asian country. I downloaded free OpenStreetMap maps for my country and put them on my watch. However I have three different maps that I put on there including open topo maps, bicycle routing maps and otm maps. How does the watch know which out of these three maps to use and should I keep all three in the watch or just keep one? Thanks for your help.

You can choose which maps to use for each activity:

Long press Up -> Activities & Apps -> Choose an activity -> $activity settings -> Map -> Configure Maps.

Indeed. And there's no reason to delete any maps from your watch, since you can toggle them on and off however you want in each activity. Unless you need the storage space.

I've got probably 10 different map layers in my watch, and I have each activity configured to use only 2-3 of them. But across all my activities, all 10 get used.

How often are these maps updated?

You can go on the website and find out for yourself, however they say once per week.
