It is no secret at this point that Huawei is trying to get Huawei Mobile Services to make a dent in the market to make the company’s terminals more attractive, since it is impossible for them to get Google Mobile Services from the factory has made many users who do not want to purchase a terminal from the company.

Today, in the presentation in which we have been able to see the Huawei Mate 22 and Matte 40 RS, Petal Maps , comes as an alternative to the navigation application par excellence, Google Maps, thus expanding the ecosystem of applications that work under the pa raguas of Huawei Mobile Services and that will allow the user experience with a Huawei terminal to be much better.

As is to be expected with location services, especially with the situation that Huawei is facing , the data processing will be regulated by the Irish legislation, where a center in this country will be responsible for the data of users of 60 countries, including all of Europe. Also, its data centers will be in Germany and France.

Petal Maps will be available from today in Beta version for any user with an Android terminal you can try it, although you will have to download it from the Huawei App Gallery. Also, Huawei has already created a page where we can see all the information about it.
