OS Maps App - How to get the map to self centre?

[Geecee68]

Hi all,

I downloaded the TET Southern route and did a bit of it today, using the GPX route loaded onto my OS Maps App.

It annoyingly won't self centre, so I was frequently needing to stop and move the map by touching the screen on my phone. I have to think it is supposed to self centre, so I wonder if its a parameter I've missed.

Then the other thing was my screen would switch off, which i think is an Apple parameter that I'll need to check (I see that the Apple Maps app doesn't do it.

Finally I'm thinking I should just get a garmin...any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. If in any chance Slowboy reads this, the CRF got a solid work out today!

Not sure what version you have but pressing the little lock button centres the map on mine

You also need "location" services turned on with your phone if you haven't already.

On my (Android) phone I had to download a separate app to keep the screen on!!

Not sure if there's a setting that I can change now (there have been a couple of updates since then), but it was an annoyance that I couldn't just click a "keep screen on" option in the App.
