I also would like to be able to use OsmAnd without the screen turning off. I made the 3 Navigation mode changes to Turn Screen Off - Never but it made no difference; the screen goes black while the voice prompt continues to work. This is not good for situations where I have external power and would like to view the map during navigation.
Are there any solutions that work?
