HUAWEI makes Petal Maps more useful with the addition of route planning feature

For now, countries where real-time public transport information is already available in Petal Maps include Australia, Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, and France among a total of 16 regions. In addition to the freshly added options for walking, driving and public transport, Petal Maps’ route planning feature also offers the convenience for cycling in 11 countries, with the aim of expanding to more regions soon.

In order to take advantage of the expanded route planning feature, just update the Petal Maps app on your phone or download the latest version from App Gallery. Petal Maps already offers some neat tricks such as the ability to save certain locations via cloud sync for quick navigation route access, interactive 3D Maps (with support for pan, tilt, and zoom gestures), and real-time traffic information with turn-by-turn navigation guidance.

You also get support for what HUAWEI calls Air Gestures, which allows users to zoom in and out during navigation by just holding their hand in front of the screen and wait for an icon to show up. HUAWEI assures that all user data associated with Petal Maps is end-to-end encrypted for security.

I’ve been writing about consumer technology for over three years now, having worked with names such as NDTV and Beebom in the past. Aside from covering the latest news, I’ve reviewed my fair share of devices ranging from smartphones and laptops to smart home devices. I also have interviewed tech execs and appeared as a host in YouTube videos talking about the latest and greatest gadgets out there.
