Waze - Navigation Program

[Albino_Hedgehog]

Hello,

Sorry for the late replies,

We are still using Jessie, as I'm sure you are aware, CarPC is not yet Compatible with Stretch.

I will edit this post with the /opt/carpc/ file to show you how to get it running from the main menu

sorry I had to rebuild my whole SD Card.

The /opt/carpc/Startup file was edited, and I replaced ".navit" with "waze".

This allows Waze to launch in place of Navit.

However I have now run into the issue of having a notification window popup over the top of Waze, and I am unable to use the mouse to close this!

Is there a way to close these via ssh?

Some news about waze on rpi, is working ok, is worth it to change navit software on carpc ??

[Albino_Hedgehog]

Yeah, over on the other forum we found it to be very useable!

Thanks!

I think I finally managed it to install waze?

But I get an error when trying to start:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ waze

(waze:1152): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I'm using the 7" RPi Touchscreen.
Do I need to edit the settings somehow?

Edit:
I can start waze using the console on the Rasperry from Jessie - but not via network using putty
Strange!

I can't start waze from carpc, if i change in startcarpc navit with waze, nothing is happening. For the moment i give up.

I got it starting by editing the StartCarPC file:

#!/bin/bash

# Start gpsd
#sudo killall gpsd
#sudo chmod a+r /dev/ttyUSB0
#gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0

# Start Navit with a low priority
waze &
#/usr/bin/7ways_starter.sh &

cd /opt/carpc/startup/
./StartCarPC_stage2 &

When it starts, I've to confirm "Terms of use", but I can't scroll down to hit the "Accept" button

EDIT: Change Skin to Confluence to setup your account - change back to CarPC Skin - working
