The Command Button named Map Tiles causes all of the un-cached map tiles at all zoom levels on the current Route to be loaded into the map tile cache from the Map Server. You will need to do this if you want to use KayakNav off-line. This process runs multiple download threads, but will still take some time to complete for long Routes.

Alternatively, you can load up a planned route and activate the Simulation Mode to pre-cache map tiles. This however may not cache all the required map tiles.
