Help Latest Google Maps 5.7 causes screen to dim

[captainm27]

Is anybody experiencing dimming on the Google Maps program while in Navigation? I tried out Google Maps today after receiving v 5.7 and notice that during navigation, the screen will dim very dark after about 2 minutes, causing me to have to tap the screen to lighten it up, which would cause the map to move to another position, forcing me to hit the Blue arrow again to re-orient myself. I also noticed that once dimmed, if I get a voice prompt for an upcoming turn, it will automatically brighten up again.

This used to never happen before. No matter what setting my screen was set to timeout, Google Maps during Navigation would always keep the screen turned on.

Exact same thing happening on my Evo 3d. I also have the KeepScreen app which will force the screen to stay awake when using selected programs. Even though the program is running the screen still dims. Must be a bug in the latest update.

I wish they would fix this bug already!

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
