Amap (高德地图) HarmonyOS (鸿蒙版) app debuts industry‑first "Intelligent Traffic Alerts"; Huawei Enjoy 90 Pro Max (华为畅享 90 Pro Max) available for trial

What’s new

Amap (高德地图) today rolled out an industry‑first feature on its HarmonyOS (鸿蒙版) client: "Intelligent Traffic Alerts" (智能路况提醒). The company says the feature can push live traffic‑light countdowns (红绿灯读秒) into a small real‑time window on the phone when a user approaches an intersection. Reportedly this capability is now open for trial on Huawei Enjoy 90 Pro Max (华为畅享 90 Pro Max) phones.

How it works

Users reportedly see a live window that shows red/green light countdowns while driving or cycling; crucially, the app can surface the countdown without launching full map navigation and without interrupting other operations. IT之家 also published the enablement steps: grant Amap location permission, then turn on the "智感畅行" mode under Scenario Mode (情景模式) — after that the live alerts can run even when the app is not actively open.

Availability and context

Huawei’s product pages reportedly describe "智感畅行" as an outdoor assistance package that optimizes network behavior, adjusts system functions and provides clear voice broadcasts alongside the smart traffic reminders. For now the trial appears limited to the Huawei Enjoy 90 Pro Max; wider rollout details and a broader device list have not been disclosed.

Why it matters

Why should Western readers care? Mapping and mobility services in China are tightly integrated with local infrastructure and OEM ecosystems, and features like traffic‑light countdowns illustrate deeper ties between apps, device makers and urban systems. It is also part of a broader push by Huawei and Chinese developers to expand HarmonyOS‑native services amid trade restrictions and a drive for tech self‑reliance — a geopolitical backdrop that helps explain the emphasis on device‑level optimizations and exclusive features.
