When should you enable multiple levels?

When you create maps, there is always the option of creating multiple levels. I am wondering why/when you should do this instead of just creating a new map for a new level.

When you enable creating multiple levels at the start, it creates all the .FCW files at the same time with the same dimensions and background and adds links between them so you can switch back and forth by just clicking the level name on each map.

You get a list of the levels with automatically created links like this:

You can do the same thing manually, it's just a time-saver.

Thanks. Makese more sense for going up and down, but I can see this for overland maps as well if you wanted to break a large map down into small maps that are next to each other.

Yea, this feature is primarily intended for things like dungeons, buildings and (star)ships.
