I think the USB dongle is formatted as FAT32 by default from new, but I'm sure someone will correct me if that's not the case.

Yes, this is often the case, they actually partition the memory so that each partition is 32gb or less.
The problem occurs when you try and re-format a USB, perhaps as part of the process of clearing out old data, or usb damage is detected and you let Windows repair it. Unless you have special partition tools, Windows will not let you format a USB over 32gb in FAT32 format, it will offer exFAT or NTFS.
Interestingly, the X1 will happily use a usb with exFAT (for example a music library) but it their app says it needs the nav maps in FAT32 format. However please note I am told it will actuallyaccept NFTS format.
You are correct, a 16gb usb should be adequate for Europe “way” or “route” maps.
