1. First, make sure that the "GPS" icon that appears when you tap the screen has a red check mark. If not, touch "GPS" to turn it on. Then, tap the gear icon just to the left of "GPS". One of the options there is "Auto-Center". Set it to anything except "off".

2. My preference is to keep my N900 plugged into a power supply while driving, since GPS eats power. Then I use the "Display stays lit when charging" option in the settings application, "display" option. An alternative is in Mappero itself: in the top menu (the one on the standard menu bar) choose "Settings->Misc", then set the "unblank screen" option to something other than "never".
