So we have had a few power outages and when the power comes back on the map is not on. The RPI is up and running and I can connect to it via wifi but I need to go to Map Functions and turn on the map. Any reason it doesn't do this automatically? V4.381

Ron, I just checked my map running V4.381 to be sure I hadn't disabled the automatic startup and mine is setup properly. So if you don't mind, let's check yours to be sure we are the same.

First check your settings to be sure that "Auto Run on Boot" is set to "Yes".

If its set to "Yes", then try this.

Establish an SSH session with your map, or if you have a monitor and keyboard you can connect them directly. Either way at the command line enter;

cd /etc
sudo nano rc.local

This will open up an editor with some code in it. It should look like this;

There could be pound signs in front of the code that gets executed, which will comment out those lines. If you see those, remove the "#" from in front of the last 4 lines and then hit "ctrl-x" then "Y" to save, then type "reboot now".

If necessary, attach a screen print here so I can look at it. Let me know what you find. - Mark
