No Google Maps, no problem! Huawei & Honor smartphone users can navigate using Made-in-India Move app

NEW DELHI: Chinese telecom company Huawei on Tuesday brought Indian navigation firm MapMyIndia on its app gallery as an alternative to Google maps. Huawei has developed its own app store as the US government is in the process to bar American companies from selling software and hardware to the Chinese telecom major.

As a result, there are also restrictions on supplying of Google Mobile Services, including Gmail, Google Play store, Google Maps and YouTube, to Huawei and Honor smartphones.

“We are proud to announce our liaison with India’s dedicated and leading digital map provider MapmyIndia. With flagship mobility app Move, we aim to take our AppGallery users’ experience beyond navigation to an enhanced mapping ecosystem,” Charles Peng, president (consumer business group), Honor and Huawei India, said in a statement.
