There are a few ways to prevent the screen from timing out while using Google Maps:
1. Enable "Stay awake" in developer options:
- Go to Settings > About phone
- Tap on "Build number" multiple times until it says "You are now a developer"
- Go back to the main Settings menu and tap on "Developer options"
- Scroll down and look for "Stay awake" and turn it on
2. Use a third-party app:
- Download an app like "Keep Screen On" or "Caffeine" from the Google Play Store
- Open the app and turn it on
- This will prevent the screen from timing out while the app is open
3. Use Google Maps in Navigation mode:
- Enter your destination and start navigating
- The screen will stay on while in Navigation mode, even if you deviate from the route
4. Enable "Lock screen display" in Google Maps settings:
- Open Google Maps and tap on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner
- Tap on "Settings"
- Scroll down and look for "Lock screen display" and turn it on
- This will keep the screen on when you have a route set, but not when you're just browsing the map
I hope one of these solutions works for you!
