In my experience it makes use of it. Map drawing is much quicker if
the basemap is present at a specific scale of display, and there will
be no more map display if the basemap is missing, at an even bigger
scale. Exact numbers depend on your model and detail settings, so try
it. The basemap assists as well in some searches.

If it is lack of space that is the worry why not install an additional
card. I installed a 8GB card in my 660, it gives ample room for all
the MP3 etc I'm ever likely to need.
