BARCELONA, Spain, Mar. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

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.

Since its launch in 2020, the Petal Maps APP has witnessed rapid growth, with a

substantial footprint in more than 160 countries and regions with some 20

million monthly active users worldwide. Petal Maps plans to continue enriching

the platform's capabilities, identify and integrate new cutting-edge

technologies as well as collaborate with leaders in navigation technology to

further perfect the mapping ecosystem and enhance the user experience.
