Animated route map maker. Every journey, drawn as it happens.

Show a trip, a flight or a shipping lane as a line that draws itself across the map while the camera follows. Add stops, labels and a title, then export the video for YouTube, Reels or a presentation.

Free to start · No credit card · Export MP4

Alpine Drive: Zurich to Zermatt on real roads, satellite map with terrain relief. A real export from the studio.

Or describe it, and the AI builds the first version

How to make one

Animated route maps in four steps.

  1. 01

    Add your stops

    Type the places, describe the trip to the AI, or open a template. On Starter and above you can also import a GPX track, KML or GeoJSON.

  2. 02

    Pick how it travels

    A curved flight arc, real roads for driving or walking, real sea lanes for ships, or a straight line between stops.

  3. 03

    Set the camera and labels

    Follow the route, fit the whole journey or fly between stops. Add stop names, callouts with flags, stat cards and a title.

  4. 04

    Export the video

    MP4 in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, or square and 4:5 for the feed.

What you control

Every part of it is editable.

  • Flight paths

    Curved arcs between airports, multi-stop flights and hub-and-spoke networks from one origin, with an optional 3D plane.

  • Road trips

    Routes snap to real roads for driving or walking, so the line follows the actual way, not a guess.

  • Sea routes

    Ship journeys run port to port on a real maritime network, never across land.

  • GPX tracks

    Drop in a GPX file from a watch, bike computer, Strava or Komoot and it becomes an animated route (Starter plan and above).

  • Stops and callouts

    Numbered stops, place labels, flag callouts and stat cards, timed to appear as the route reaches them.

  • Map styles

    Streets, satellite, dark and light basemaps, eight skins, terrain relief and a 3D globe view.

FAQ

Questions

How do I make an animated route map?
Open the studio, add your stops (or describe the trip to the AI), choose flight, road, sea or straight routing, set the camera, and export an MP4. Starting from a template such as Alpine Drive or Night Flight is the quickest way.
Can I animate a flight path between cities?
Yes. Flight routes draw as curved arcs between cities, with one or many stops, and can carry a 3D plane that the camera follows.
Can I turn a GPX file into a video?
Yes, on the Starter plan and above. Import a GPX track and it becomes a route you can style, animate and export. Waypoints become stops.
Do road trips follow real roads?
Yes. Road routes are calculated on real road networks for driving or walking, and sea routes use a real shipping-lane network.
Is it free?
You can build, preview and export 3 videos a month at 720p with a small badge for free. Paid plans add HD export without the badge and more exports.
