Apple Maps open - stop phone from locking/dimming

Google Maps has a setting that stops the phone from dimming/auto-locking while the app is open and navigating. Pretty obvious option.


I can't find a similar setting in Apple Maps. Is there a way to keep Apple Maps open while navigating?


Please don't tell me to keep auto-lock on "never". I don't have to do this with Google Maps. I've been wanting to switch back to Apple Maps since Google Maps doesn't access my contacts. But it seems pretty pointless to have a maps app where the screen shuts off on you in the middle of your trip. That's nothing more than an accident waiting to happen.


Thanks!

Hi. You have to start the trip with the button GO. Then center your position in the screen with the arrow.

So far, your phone will still lock itself.

The last step to prevent this from happening is to plug your phone to an electrical source.

Now your iPhone will not dim or lock.
