Petal Maps brings extensive navigation features, from search and route planning to advanced lane-level guidance, low-battery alerts, and immersive 3D navigation. Designed with new energy vehicle drivers in mind, the platform includes custom features such as "fried egg" icons for battery range calculations and low-power alerts. These features provide real-time traffic signals, charging station availability, and rest stops, enhancing overall usability.

This deployment of Petal Maps in Brazil and Thailand marks the first step in GWM and Huawei's collaboration, aiming to deliver an unprecedented level of navigation and location-based services worldwide.
