If you have any maps chosen that are automatically refreshed (e.g. one of the
on-line weather maps), then this behavior is normal and can be stopped by
un-choosing the map that gets refreshed.  If you have only local maps chosen, 
it is not normal.

Check your selected maps.  If any one of them is an online map, check the
associated ".geo" file to see if it's got a REFRESH line.  If so, that's the
cause.
