The same way it does in Google maps, and in Waze. But I can’t seem to find a setting on the phone that will do that for any other apps, and I can’t find any information through internet searches that leave me that direction.
As usual, they show me what they think I ought to be looking for, which is how to lock an app. Not the question I asked, Google (or anybody else).
Is it impossible or does anybody have a tip? Not looking to go down the unlocking my phone root access path either. It’s not that big a deal, I could turn on trusted devices, or extend unlock, but those aren’t the solutions I’m looking for.
I’ve been using Organic Maps (from F-Droid) and it has a “Keep the screen on” option in the settings. That said, I’ve never had the screen dim while navigating to a destination. The setting I mentioned prevents timeout when you’ve got the map open but not on route somewhere.
Duhh, that’s what I’m using. Thanks 🙄
Edit: I am so sorry Joshua falcon. I was exasperated myself and how stupid I was not to notice that, and I wasn’t careful about the way I worded it. I really was thanking you, and I was rolling my eyes at myself.
you can use coffee to keep your phone awake (also available on f-droid)
hope this helps
