I suggest that the map should prefetch the tiles off the sides of the current location.

Once a user beings moving the map in a certain direction, tiles should continue to be prefectched off the edge of the map in that same direction (up to n+1, where n is the amount to prefetch.)

This would vastly improve experience of the map, as there would be far, far less moments of waiting for data to load.
