I have a fully functioning implementation of ImageMapType with my own tile 
server. The question I have is I would like to add additional zoom levels 
however I do not have any further high res imagery -- However for my users 
that is fine. They'd rather have a blurry and less precise image than being 
stuck at say zoom level 7 when they'd really like to be at zoom level 8. 
 Right now my only option is to simply create the tiles for that additional 
zoom level.

However when you initially zoom-in to a new level, before maps loads the new 
tiles, it shows the existing tiles just at 2x the size. However when the 
next tiles yield a 404, the temporary tiles now disappear just showing the 
background.  So my question is this:

Is there a way to have Maps keep zoom level 7 imagery when I go to zoom 
level 8? Just let the browser do the auto-scaling and don't release those 
tiles. I'm just wasting a lot of bandwidth sending over new "higher 
resolution" tiles that their browser had already auto-scaled to 200%.
