Terrain Awareness with MME map?

Is it possible to use a previously generated map (from Drone Pilot Pro) as the terrain awareness elevation map rather than the downloaded elevation map? It seems this would allow lower, safer drone flying and generate better maps.

Yes, you can. The list for Terrain Awareness data sources will show SRTM, which is the default for world wide coverage, and anything within 2 km of the purple takeoff location dot (or red aircraft location triangle). All flight waypoints must be within the bounds of the colorized elevation map. 

The screenshot here is a bit old but the process is the same:
