At least my tablet doesn't blank then. The "power saving" works fine but has nothing to do with the screen-lock. In "power saving" mode blanks your screen to save battery power until a turn or other event arrives. Then the screen "wakes up" for the time it takes to go past that turn and then it goes back to sleep again. The screen-lock is active regardless of the power saving setting. It will lock your screen if you have not touched the screen or the keys for 5 minutes (or the period you've set). Once your screen is locked only the number pad is displayed although the Navicore software is still running in the background.
