Maemo Mapper (by default) keeps the screen from blanking only in full-screen mode, and only when you are moving (as defined by your GPS receiver).

There is an option in the Settings dialog box that, when disabled, allows Maemo Mapper to keep the screen from blanking also in non-full-screen mode. (You still have to be moving, though.)

I kept trying to start it and it would bomb, I went back to hildon and started up maemo-mapper and it came up, I closed it and switched back and it worked fine. For some reason at one point it got into a mis-shapen window and it would not start. I know my specs are way outside of what you are developing for, but I thought I would mention it
I'm not sure there's anything I can do about this without more detail. It's a risk of going outside of Hildon, I guess!
