Map-to-Map Panning Transition?

Well, I don't really know how to explain this request, but I'll try.
I'm looking to use multiple maps, each the size of the screen, for my game in order to conserve memory usage aka. kill lag.
I was wondering if someone could make a script that, unless told to do otherwise, would load the current map and the map being switched to at the same time and sort of pan over into the next map. Kinda like how the pokemon games do when you move from route to route.
I've made a gif to kinda show what I'm asking for...

Are you asking for something like the Pokemon game, or the 2D Zelda games? Your .gif is closer to the zelda games, where you go to the edge of the map and it will pan to the next one. In Pokemon games, you can walk from one map to another as though they were the same map, and, as long as they have the same tileset, everything works out just fine. (I've hacked them before, if they use tiles near the edge of a map that doesn't have those tiles, then when you're on the other map, they are replaced with random bits of gibberish)
