This is the primary feature of google maps that makes it so useful.  The mechanisms for recognizing the exposed areas 
and retrieving the missing tiles are what are being referred to as "AJAX" programming.  There are asynchronous Java 
script actions executing to make your experience seem like a full blown application.  You can also zoom dynamically too.

Have a look at my clubs repeater system status page that I did at

Grab the zoom slider and go up and down in zoom level and see how it automatically scales the images for you, and then 
fetches the real images for the zoom level you stop at.  Try it with both the satellite and map views.
