<<<'END'
In fact, you don't have to care about tile caching. On mobile networks, IITCm
downloads tiles only if it's really needed. Tiles are updated only when
connected to WiFi. If you still want to prefetch tiles, go on reading:
<ul>
<li>Prefetching does only work for providers which follow the OpenStreetMap tile folder structure (for example: Google or Bing tiles don't work)</li>
<li>It is recommended to use the external storage for tile caching, so check it in IITCms settings. Otherwise, your storage is highly limited and you need root access</li>
<li>A recommended tool for downloading tiles can be found <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JTileDownloader">here</a></li>
<ul>
<li>A custom build including MapQuest tiles as default can be found <a href="http://iitcm.code-noobs.org/jTileDownloader-0-6-1-iitc.jar">here</a></li>
</ul>
<li>The easiest way is choosing a Bounding Box (Lat/Lon) via the Slippy Map chooser</li>
<li>On your smartphone, search for your providers tile directory. Mapquest should be in <home directory>/Android/data/com.cradle.iitc_mobile/tiles/mpcdn.com/1.0.0/map/</li>
<li>Finally, copy the content of JTileDownloaders output folder to the appropriate directory on your smartphone</li>
</ul>
