Well... Kind'a. Try using the arrow keys to move around and picking particular zoom levels using the pageup/pagedown keys and you'll stick to tiles you've downloaded before. If you deviate from that the map caching gets lost and tries to pull in new ones.

You can also set a map bookmark for a starting position/zoom level so that you can get back into the tiles if you accidentally stray.
