Any update on this project?
I'd like to use my Pine64 board as an in-car tablet that could run nav software and play Audible audiobooks and whatnot but shortly after I received it I realized it had no GPS capability so I thought I might be out-of-luck for navigation. But it seems some smart people have gotten the GPS aspect figured out.
As far as powering on the Pine board, and keeping it powered, I can't make sense of what you guys are talking about. I'm a software developer but am totally ignorant of even basic electronics. I'd actually be content having to power on the Pine unit myself after starting the car or plugging it in. I perform that sort of action now with my cell phone (put it in the holder on my dash and plug the AUX cable into it from my stereo input) anyway so it wouldn't bother me.
