Huawei doesn\u2019t support Google Mobile Services (GMS), but there are still ways to download your preferred Google apps.<\/p>\n

This is thanks to Huawei App Gallery, which allows you to use almost every Google application on your Huawei device – including Google Maps.<\/p>\n

We tested out how easy it is to install Google Maps on a Huawei smartphone using AppGallery \u2013 here are the steps we took.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Go to Petal Search<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Huawei has also built its own GPS app tailored specifically to its smartphones.<\/p>\n

Petal Maps is easy to install and offers thorough turn-by-turn navigation that is driven by real-time traffic data.<\/p>\n

The app has speech notifications which are available in a wide range of languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Mandarin.<\/p>\n

The app also allows you to zoom in and out of your map using air gestures on supported phones to offer an extra layer of safety.<\/p>\n
