Region & country highlighter
Trace any state, district or country with surgical precision. Gradient, hatch, dotted or solid fills with animated, glowing borders.
The big idea
A map is a story waiting to move. AYK's Map Studio lets you animate every frame of it — the region, the route, the camera, the caption.
Everything is animatable
One studio for regions, routes, camera and the caption.
Every control is a keyframe under the hood — but you never have to touch one. Tune what you see, and AYK's Map Studio animates it for you.
Flight paths & routes
Generate parabolic arcs with altitude in one click. Hub mode branches every stop from a single origin — up to ten points per scene.
Cinematic camera
Set pitch, bearing and zoom like a director. Globe or flat, sunset or dawn — the camera flies between your keyframes on its own.
Emphasis effects
Pulse, glow, electric, flicker or flash — make the region that matters demand attention, with strength dialled exactly where you want it.

Text, narration & overlays
Drive the story with on-map titles, labels and timed captions. Control the narration so the data lands exactly when the camera does.
Rendering MP4 PNG PDF
Cloud render & export
Export broadcast-ready MP4, image or PDF in 16:9, 9:16 or square — drop straight into Premiere, Final Cut, LinkedIn or YouTube.
Rich data layers
Go beyond outlines — choropleths, heatmaps, hex grids and 3D-extruded geometry turn raw numbers into a map that reads at a glance.
Real-road routes & markers
Snap routes to actual roads and send a marker — car, plane, train or ship — gliding along the path, banking through every turn.
Basemaps
Six map styles. No API keys.
Every basemap renders from open OpenStreetMap & Protomaps data — switch styles freely, with no tokens, quotas or third-party keys to manage.
See it move
Scroll, and the studio comes alive.
The real editor — compose the scene, dive into the live map, tune every control, then pull back to render.
- 01 — COMPOSE
The whole studio, one window
Map canvas in the centre, controls on the right, the keyframe timeline below. Everything you need to direct a scene is in view.
- 02 — FRAME
Into the live map
Drop pins, draw routes, highlight India and its neighbours. The map is live OpenStreetMap data, not a static picture.
- 03 — TUNE
Tune every control
Fill style, border, opacity, emphasis, build order — adjust what you see and lock what you love. No keyframe wrangling.
- 04 — RENDER
Render & export
Camera, region and routes animate in the order you set. Export MP4, image or PDF — ready for the feed or the broadcast.
How it works
From a sentence to a finished scene.
Four steps. No keyframes required — though they're there the moment you want them.
karnataka.geojson
1
Describe or import
Type the scene in plain language — "trace a 5-day road trip through Karnataka" — or drag in a GeoJSON, KML or KMZ file.
2
AI composes the scene
The engine turns your brief into an editable scene — camera, routes, region highlights and overlays already laid out and in sync.

Refine on the timeline
Tune fills, routes, pins, emphasis and build order. Lock any value so a re-prompt can't touch it. Every change renders instantly.

Render & export
Hit render. In about a minute you have a broadcast-ready MP4, image or PDF — in whatever aspect ratio your platform needs.
The Living Inspector
One editor, three jobs.
Three columns keep the whole scene at your fingertips, with the live preview in the middle updating the instant you touch anything.
- The shot
Format, basemap, projection, and camera motion. - The story
Places, routes, region highlights, and text overlays. - The timing
Animation order and an optional keyframe timeline.
From data to story
Drop in a spreadsheet. Watch it become a map.
Columns auto-detect into places, coordinates, numbers and dates — then become points, routes and animated layers. No GIS knowledge required.
CSV JSON GeoJSON + curated registry
Total control
Hands on the controls, the moment you want them.
Compose with AI, then take the wheel. Style every layer with real controls, and keyframe the camera, routes, regions and overlays on a precise timeline — down to the frame.
Sovereign by design
Your maps. Your servers. Your soil.
AYK's Map Studio is home-grown in India and built on open map data — so you're never renting your basemap from Google or Mapbox. Run it in our cloud, or self-host the whole engine inside your own network.
Data stays in country
Render on infrastructure you control. Nothing leaves your network unless you want it to.
Self-host the engine
Deploy the full Map Animator on your own servers — air-gapped if you need it.
Open map data
Powered by OpenStreetMap & Protomaps — no proprietary basemap lock-in, ever.
Hub mode · routes branch from one origin
Use cases
One tool, four very different storytellers.
Travel & YouTube creators
Turn an itinerary into a cinematic flight-path intro your audience actually watches to the end. 9:16 for Shorts, 16:9 for the main feed.
Journalists & newsrooms
Highlight a constituency, trace a supply route, or map an event with surgical precision — broadcast-ready in minutes, on deadline.
Realtors & agencies
Fly clients from city to neighbourhood to doorstep. Brand the colours, add overlays, and export a share-ready reel for every listing.
Government & enterprise
Self-host the engine, keep sensitive geodata in-country, and produce briefing-grade visualisations without a GIS team.
