## What is Hala Maps?

Hala Maps is a map and navigation app made for Iraq, speaking your dialect. The app is in Arabic.

Iraqi voice guidance
Directions in Iraqi Arabic a kilometre before the turn, half a kilometre before, and «now» right at it, including roundabout exits and U-turns. Standard Arabic is in Settings, and you choose how much it says.

Traffic and other ways round
Routes follow the traffic, and you can pick between several ways before you set off. Leave the route and a new one comes in seconds.

Driver reports
Traffic, accidents, closed roads, speed bumps, potholes, stopped cars, roadworks, closed lanes, bad weather and more, in two taps. Drivers behind you see them and hear them. When you near a report, Hala Maps asks «still there?» so the map stays right.

Maps without internet
Download your province's map in Settings and drive with no internet: search, routes and voice guidance all work.

Speed limits
Your speed and the street's limit, always on screen. Over it, the screen edge turns red and the voice warns you.

«+ stop» on your way
Fuel, EV chargers, restaurants, pharmacies, mosques, supermarkets… on the road ahead, then on to your destination.

Permit zones
Without a permit for Baghdad's Green Zone or old Najaf, routes go around them.

Watch out ahead
Warnings for speed bumps, schools, railway crossings and sharp curves, and car parks near your destination.

Search in Arabic, or by voice
Hospitals, malls, restaurants and streets by their Iraqi names, however you spell them, or tap the mic and say where you are going.

⏰ Drive later
Tell the app where you need to be and when, and it reminds you when to leave.

Night map
The map goes dark after sunset, in 3D or flat.

Your car on the map
Sign in with Apple or Google, choose a nickname, picture and car, and earn points and levels from your reports. See the drivers around you, and hide from their maps with one tap. An account is optional.

Your privacy
No ads, no tracking, and we never sell your information. Your trips are not stored on our servers.
