Petal Maps

Finding efficient travel routes and navigating complex road layouts becomes easier with Petal Maps, an app that provides turn-by-turn guidance, live traffic data, and local exploration across more than 160 countries and regions. Beyond basic mapping, it calculates routes based on real-time road conditions and personal driving preferences, offering lane-level guidance to help drivers anticipate turns and highway interchanges well in advance.

Route Planning and On-Road Guidance

The routing engine calculates multiple journey options, allowing users to choose the fastest, shortest, or least congested path. Drivers can insert multiple stops along a single trip and preview the entire path ahead of time. During the drive, lane-level assistance visually clarifies which lane to occupy in complex junctions. Travelers can also contribute to live road updates by reporting traffic closures, accidents, and police presence, while viewing hazards submitted by others on the road.

Offline Capabilities and Wearable Integration

Travelers venturing away from mobile coverage can download offline maps beforehand to maintain functional navigation without an active internet connection. Beyond standard driving trips, the platform supports walking, cycling, and public transit journeys. Users who own compatible smartwatches, including the HUAWEI WATCH 3, GT2, and GT3 series, can sync navigation prompts directly to their wrists for hands-free guidance while walking or riding.

Place Discovery and Cloud Synchronization

The service doubles as a local directory equipped with voice search for finding restaurants, cafes, parking facilities, and gas stations. Users can curate these locations into customized lists with dedicated icons. To prevent data loss across hardware switches, saved places and travel records can be backed up and synchronized across multiple devices using either Dropbox or HUAWEI Mobile Cloud. Community members can further refine the directory by submitting ratings, writing reviews, adding missing locations, or editing incorrect map details. Note that feature availability varies depending on the specific country or region.
