KayakNav can display maps from Open Street Map servers and by default uses the Acacia Map Server.

The Map Server is basically a web server that responds to requests for Map Tiles at a specific X, Y coordinate and Zoom Level. KayakNav builds the displayed Map from multiple Map Tiles. If a required Map Tile is not cached in the database, it is downloaded from the Map Server and stored into the database.

Since iOS 9.0, Apple mandates that the Map Server be secured, so to comply with this, the Acacia Map Server URL has been changed to https:// instead of http://.
