BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2023 (Archyde.com) /PRNewswire/ – Huawei unveiled Petal Maps at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, demonstrating its innovative features including full-screen lane guidance, real-time traffic monitoring, multiple map layers, life services, and collaborative navigation. These features enable Petal Maps to offer its users reliable navigation and mapping services worldwide, supported by a co-created ecosystem.
Petal Maps currently covers more than 160 countries and regions with over 40 million MAUs and supports map data in more than 70 languages. Thanks to its rich set of features, Petal Maps has been well received by users around the world, serving as an always-on co-pilot, helping users explore the world around them in new ways.
Full-screen lane guidance for effortless navigating through complex intersections
At MWC, Huawei showcased Petal Maps full-screen guidance, revolutionizing the traditional navigation experience. This feature expands the lane guidance view to full screen and helps the user to better see the exact lane of their vehicle. In addition, the function covers more roads in countries like Malaysia, the Philippines and Mexico, which together with a clearer view creates a better user experience.
The full-screen guidance function uses numerous functions, such as e.g. B. Algorithms for 3D road modeling and lane extraction from HD satellite imagery to automatically simulate and render detailed road information in 3D, making roads more descriptive on digital maps. Petal Maps is particularly effective in providing clear navigation instructions and driving suggestions in more demanding road scenarios, by alerting users to lane changes in good time and allowing them to navigate complex intersections with ease.
In addition, Petal Maps is committed to environmentally friendly and safe navigation services. For cycling enthusiasts, Petal Maps can provide the most suitable routes depending on traffic conditions so that they can do their bit for the environment. For those who like to walk, Petal Maps can vibrate the watch to show when and where to turn, so they can see the sights instead of navigating the streets.
Immersive map effects to replicate the real world in digital maps
Petal Maps is able to show streets, buildings, weather effects and night scenes in great detail and with true to life colors. In this way, the real world is vividly reproduced in the digital maps so that users can understand them better and move around more easily. Petal Maps currently supports detailed 3D rendering of nearly one hundred points of interest. In Huawei’s exhibition area, visitors might use Petal Maps to explore Barcelona’s landmarks, such as the Sagrada Família and Casa Milà, which are reproduced in 3D in the platform’s digital maps. Additionally, Petal Maps can display dynamic weather effects such as cloud, sun and storms depending on local weather, and can also display streetlights and other specific building details at night.
Petal Maps strives to represent the real world as closely as possible through digital maps. At MWC, Huawei showcased the 3D real scene function of Petal Maps, which uses the industry-leading explicit radiation field technology and multi-source image data bundle adjustment technology to systematically optimize the 3D reconstruction of ultra-fine and large terrain maps, the reconstruction of real Implement scenes and render buildings in stunning detail.
Ecosystem co-creation with fully open map platform capabilities
In addition to developing innovative map functions, Huawei works closely with ecosystem partners such as hotels, ride-hailing providers, and hospitality companies in the travel and transportation industry to offer a one-stop shop for a range of everyday services through Petal Maps. For example, Petal Maps offers the necessary services to travel by different modes of transport, order take-away food, book hotels and tickets to attractions.
At the MWC, Huawei also showed the Petal Maps Platform, a cross-platform and integrated map platform for all scenarios. The Petal Maps Platform integrates and unlocks the functionality of Location Kit, Map Kit, Site Kit and Navi Kit to developers around the world and supports their app innovation. Through the platform, developers in industries such as travel, life services and e-commerce can significantly reduce development costs and achieve efficient digital transformation.
In the future, Huawei will continue to improve the user experience of Petal Maps and explore innovative technologies to provide users with more trustworthy and user-friendly navigation services, and developers with more open and secure map services. Huawei is committed to creating a map ecosystem together with users and developers.
