There are two ways that I am aware of to turn on and off maps. You seem 
to have a grasp of the first method. If Auto Maps is unselected under 
the <maps> tool bar, any maps selected in the <maps<map selector> tool 
bar will now be enabled.

Probably a poor explanation, and if you need more info, I will try to help.
