When i create a complex material with lots of layer or different maps it can be very useful so select the map to see in the viewport. It is easier to move it and change the ratio.  
At the moment you can choose the map to see in the “S” (solo) node panel, but if you leave it on it will render just that one. It will be more useful to have it in the material panel and that just affects the viewport.
