Try something like this:

autocam off
position camera 50,50,-50
point camera 0,0,0

This will tell the camera not to jump from one newly loaded object (your tiles) to the next, place the camera at the corner of a 100,100,100 'cube', and tell it to look down at the center. By changing the X and Z axis between positive and negative values you can jump from one corner to the next.

If you need to zoom in and out, change all three values of the position camera command to maintain the viewing angle. IE, 25,25,-25 or 75,75,-75.
