Map Tiles

The background Map is composed of multiple images that are stitched together into a continuous and seamless map. These map tiles are retrieved from the configured map server as required for the displayed route. KayakNav only ever downloads a map tile once and it stores it into an internal database automatically. The more you use KayakNav, the more map tiles will be cached in this database. The map can be display much more quickly from cached tiles than from the map server.

The Command Button named Map Tiles causes all of the map tiles at all zoom levels on the current Route to be loaded into the map tile cache. You will need to do this if you want to use KayakNav off-line.
