Public download & auto-update channel for Waybook, a free extension for the Hammerhead Karoo that turns any loaded route into an illustrated, offline guide to the places along your ride — a photo and a short story for the castles, viewpoints and cafés you'll pass.
- Website: https://waybook.cc
- This repo holds only the packaged Karoo app (APK) releases — not the source. Waybook is free to use but not open source; see LICENSE.
Waybook is sideloaded (it is not in Hammerhead's app store).
- On the Karoo, allow installing apps from unknown sources (the installer prompts you the first time).
- Download the latest
waybook-<n>.apkfrom the Releases page — the easiest path is to open that page in the Karoo's browser and download directly to the device; you can also transfer the APK over USB. - Tap the APK to install.
- Open Waybook from the app list, then add the Waybook data field to a ride screen (long-press a field → pick Waybook).
After the first install, updates are one tap: open Waybook → Check for update (needs WiFi). The app installs the newest release from this repo automatically — no cable, no laptop.
