Thought you couldn’t do without Google Maps? Huawei has found an alternative, or so it seems: the smartphone manufacturer has closed a deal to use digital navigation company TomTom’s services in future devices.
As first reported by Reuters, TomTom’s software and data will be fitted into Huawei’s phones, as a standalone app as well as to power other navigation-based services. The deal is certainly a weight off Huawei’s shoulders, which without a global navigation partner, would have had to ship devices with limited map services.
