Huawei has unveiled Petal Maps, its latest map navigation system designed for
global markets, at Mobile World Congress 2022 (MWC) in Barcelona. The solution
leverages mobile phone hardware and intelligent algorithms to deliver a package
of innovative mapping capabilities, including precise indoor and outdoor
positioning, lane guidance, offline maps, 3D architecture (using Barcelona's
landmarks as a showcase), multi-terminal collaboration between smartphones and
watches and multiple Nearby Life services.
Petal Maps platform opens its map services and capabilities to developers and
partners worldwide, providing full-scenario mapping solutions to companies and
service providers in industries that depend on geographical positioning for
their products and services, opening up an entirely new outlook to the future
of mobility life.
Innovative technologies and multi-terminal collaboration deliver unbeatable
navigation functionalities
The Petal Maps' lane guidance feature assists drivers in accurately judging
route changes when confronted by complex road scenarios, with timely reminders
on when to switch lanes to avoid missing an exit or turn off. Petal Maps also
provides an offline map function that allows drivers to search and navigate
without an internet connection, ensuring worry-free navigation at all times
through pre-downloaded map data.
In addition, the multi-terminal and multi-screen collaboration feature, such as
watch coordination navigation enables route guidance by simply lifting one's
wrist; smartphone P50 Pocket - the main screen displays the navigation while
the cover screen provides quick access to notifications. This truly innovative
feature has been a focal point of MWC 2022.
Natural color and 3D architecture display real-world surroundings
Petal Maps' superb visual presentation effects are achieved through the
adoption of the original color ring concept of Practical Color Coordinate
System (PCCS) which allows a truly realistic and vivid recreation of the
natural world while also sharpening and heightening street and building details
to deliver a more immersive user experience. Petal Maps highlights the color
contrast between different regions and routes, distinguishes cities from
suburbs while visually showing the differentiation in altitude between adjacent
roads. With its leading UI design interactive experience, Petal Maps won the
2021 German Red Dot Design Award.
Petal Maps applied its 3D features processing to Barcelona's eight key
landmarks, including the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, Basilica of the Sagrada
Familia, Casa Milà, Camp Nou stadium, and Plaça de Catalunya, to deliver an
astonishing level of detail when viewing these famous locations.
Just to cite one example, the detail of the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via that one
can see in the Petal Maps'3D representation. In addition, highways and fast
lanes in key countries support 3D road display.
Petal Maps has partnered with many life service providers to provide access to
multiple nearby services including taxi hailing, hotel reservations and food
ordering, as well as information on local entertainment venues and places of
interest, meeting the needs of users and also providing to partners new sources
of traffic alongside development possibilities. With this release, Petal Maps
launches travel guides that include comprehensive and detailed information on
Barcelona's hotels, restaurants, museums and other points of interest.
Capacity openness and partner cooperation build a mapping ecosystem
Petal Maps has also integrated its own mapping and positioning capabilities
providing rich one-stop mapping service solutions to empower developers and
partners. At present, the Petal Maps Platform comes loaded with 22 service
capabilities including indoor positioning, altitude and map editing for
developers and operators in the taxi, food takeout, logistics, e-commerce,
hotel, restaurant and social networking sectors, helping partners significantly
reduce development costs and efficiently achieve digital transformation.
