Screen Time out while using Navigation

There are options here:

You can set your 'Screen Timeout' for longer by going to Settings > Sound and Dispaly > Scroll down to Screen Tmeout and change.

You can download an APP called 'Toggle Screen Timeout' free from the market put on your 'Home Screen' then when you want to block 'Screen Timeout' just press this widget first, remembering of course to press it again when finished.

There are also Apps on the Market like 'KeepScreen' which block 'Screen Timeout' when predefined applications are active, also free.

Hope you find what you are looking for

 

How would I set this during phone calls? I couldn't find it in the applications.

Thanks

 

There's also an app in the Market called "ScreenOn," and it allows you to define a list of programs that the screen will never turn off for. I use it for my ebook reader and Google Maps (when I'm not "navigating" somewhere but just want the Droid to stay on with the map showing).

 

I was all set to respond to your OP about that not being the case for me - glad it started working correctly for ya. Q: You didn't by chance use an app killer before this started occurring, did you?

The reason it does it with calls (non speakerphone) is that it prevents you from doing something to the phone (like pressing the hangup button) when you are on it. AFAIK there is not a way to disable this....

Good find - I found another one but I may give this one a try as well...
