Jim Wilson did a nice How Do I video on the Windows Mobile developer site that describes how you can manage this sort of thing:

There are also other videos in the series that deal with GPS. Here's the link to the entire series:

You can also prevent from the device from turining off. See here:

Although this is only recomended for a small number of scenarios.

Try SystemIdleTimerReset function.
