I'm no EE but this is the way it was described to me.
If you want on-the-fly map changes, then RAM is (usually) the appropriate way to go... programming flash is time-consuming as you have to erase an entire page of memory before changing even a single value. There are ways to keep it all in flash (typically through minor hardware changes), but they're not ideal and won't work in many cases.
