Map animations without expensive tools
Offline-friendly map rendering
Country boundaries are bundled from Natural Earth. There are no tile servers, API tokens, cloud uploads, or subscription requirements. Country geography is simplified at a world scale.
Smart routes, without invented AI
The assistant matches known cities from a local catalog and builds the route, labels, and animated camera movements. It does not use a generative AI model or claim to understand arbitrary locations.
Video exports that are real
Video is produced from a live-rendered canvas with optional locally decoded audio. Available codecs depend on your browser; longer and higher-resolution clips require more resources.
Frequently asked questions
Can I animate a route for YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Choose the 9:16 video aspect ratio and export. Keep labels short for mobile readability.
Does the tool calculate road or flight schedules?
No. It animates geographic paths between coordinates, not actual roads, flight plans, travel distances, ticket prices, or schedules.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Map rendering, soundtrack decoding, editing, and recording happen in your browser. The bundled map data is loaded locally with the page.
Which export formats are available?
PNG, editable JSON, route CSV, stops or route-path GeoJSON and a browser-supported recorded video format (typically WebM). MP4 availability varies by browser and is not guaranteed.
