As the cockpit of the car becomes the "third living space" of the public outside of home and office, users also put forward higher requirements for the driving experience. As one of the most important applications for car owners, Petal Maps is not only committed to helping users reach their destination safely, but also committed to making information acquisition simpler, more convenient operation, more active service, lighter navigation, and more fun driving!
Tailor-made interfaces for safer driving
In terms of information presentation and readability, Petal Maps has undergone a series of human factors research to create an interactive interface tailored to the vehicle machine, making navigation clearer, simpler and easier to use.
Visually, Petal Maps is divided into three interactive areas from near to far in a concentric circle according to the distance between the vehicle screen and the human body, and integrates the owner's safe line of sight angle, safe operation range and other factors. The most core navigation information such as distance, direction, intersection enlargement map, start navigation operation button, etc. are placed in the visual efficiency area, so that the owner can easily obtain the core navigation information and the operation is more convenient; In terms of font size, Petal Maps has also been carefully designed, using the best font size range for car owners to obtain information clearly, quickly and comfortably, reducing the cost of information acquisition and operation, making travel efficient and safer.
Active service journey worry-free, driving more worry-free
In terms of driving experience before and after travel, Petal Maps cares about the owner's mileage anxiety, charging anxiety and parking troubles, and makes driving worry-free and worry-free through active owner services.
Aiming at the mileage problem, Petal Maps optimizes the algorithm around many influencing factors of the actual driving scene, and visualizes the dynamic driving range of the power through the "poached egg" chart. According to the destination navigation route, Petal Maps intelligently plans charging stations along the way in advance, and tracks the power situation in real time during driving to intelligently remind the remaining power to minimize the owner's charging anxiety; When the end of the trip is about to arrive, Petal Maps will recommend parking lots near the end point for users in advance during the navigation process to alleviate parking anxiety.
Lightweight navigation makes driving easier with you
In the past, car navigation paid more attention to the driving experience in the navigation process, but in real life, before the owner turns on the car navigation, the address may be from the APP shared by friends or other devices, and it is necessary to manually enter the address and restart the navigation on the car navigation, and this breakpoint navigation experience also affects the driving experience of the car owner and the utilization rate of the car navigation.
From the start point to the end point, the navigation should be continuous, able to automatically switch with the change of the user's location, and should not be constrained by equipment and space. Based on the distributed capabilities of HarmonyOS, Petal Maps opens up navigation information before and after getting on the bus. When boarding the car before departure, the ongoing mobile navigation task is automatically transferred to the vehicle navigation Petal Maps; When you get off the bus at the end point, the navigation task will automatically flow back to the mobile phone to continue to complete the last mile of navigation, navigation is no longer limited to one device, travel is more convenient.
In addition, Petal Maps also designed a light navigation mode for car owners for commuting and familiar driving scenarios in life. Especially in special road conditions, even if you are driving on a familiar road, it is inevitable that there will be some unexpected situations. In light navigation mode, the owner does not need to initiate navigation, and can dynamically receive important information such as speed limit cameras, lane lines, and road events in a timely manner after starting driving.
Focusing on the user's driving experience and exploring the ultimate driving pleasure, Petal Maps tailor-designed navigation experience for car owners is changing users' perception of car navigation without mobile phone navigation. Petal Maps is not only loved by users, but the monthly usage rate of Petal Maps in AITO exceeds 93%; Petal Maps has also been recognized by industry organizations for its more user-friendly interaction design, proactive trip reminder service, and seamless in-car navigation experience, which stands out from many works and also won the 2023 German iF Design Award.
