Petal Maps is positioned as a new competitor for Google Maps.
Without Chrome, Google Maps and Youtube, Huawei is developing its alternative software for its mobile ecosystem. After launching its own store, AppGallery, then its own audio streaming app and its own cloud service, the Chinese giant is embarking on the race for location & navigation applications with Petal Maps, an alternative to Google Maps.
If buyers of new Huawei terminals could already find several alternatives to Maps for navigation by voice guidance, with Here We Go, Navitel and TomTom in particular, none of these applications offered as many features as Google’s software, whether for explore the surroundings or find public transport. Petal Maps, the new in-house solution, will offer voice guidance, offline navigation, real-time location and a comprehensive guide to directions for public transport.
Very clean, the interface is reminiscent of Maps, Apple’s alternative to Google Maps. Huawei promises massive deployment in 140 countries and support for 70 languages. Lots of features will be integrated from launch, with real-time traffic display, a 3D mode, the route step by step or even gesture control on certain terminals. For Huawei, it is about offering a viable alternative to one of the most used services in the world, to which its customers no longer had access.
The app will be preinstalled on the new Mate 40 Pro. It will also be available for download on AppGallery at a later date. Huawei has not yet specified whether the owners of its other smartphones will be able to access it as well.
