By default, backlighting turns off automatically after a specified time to conserve battery power. You can change map options so that backlighting remains on when you track your movement unless the battery power level drops below a specified percentage.

On a map, press the key > Options.
Change the Backlight Timeout When field.
Press the key > Save.
