All exports use the bundled GSHHG coastline atlas, never OSM tiles. No AI or server processing.

1200 × 675 · real-time browser WebM. Frame rate can vary under load.

Optional narration or music · No AI

Attach a local audio recording or music file. It will be mixed into exported WebM where the browser supports audio encoding. Project JSON stores only its filename.

Video-only until you attach narration/audio.

Privacy and map accuracy

Projects stay in this browser until you export. OSM preview sends tile requests to OpenStreetMap. The tool does not calculate road or transit directions.

Using Map Route Animator

Enter or import route points, choose projected straight lines or great-circle flight geometry, set camera tracking and format, then preview the journey on the offline atlas. Review approximate distances and route warnings. Export an editable project or a supported still, offline reader or WebM recording.

Routes join supplied coordinates rather than calculating driving/walking directions. Distances are approximate great-circle values; the simplified GSHHG atlas is not a street map. Optional OSM tiles make third-party requests for the current preview only; all exports use the bundled offline atlas. No road routing, address search, elevation or live GPS is included. Recording is real-time WebM with browser-dependent support. Optional narration uses imported local audio, never AI inference. GSHHG coastlines are credited to Wessel & Smith / NOAA under LGPL; standard OpenStreetMap tiles remain preview-only.

Workflow and output choices for Map Route Animator

Enter or import supplied route coordinates, choose straight-line or great-circle geometry, adjust camera tracking and preview the animation on the bundled offline atlas.

The editable route project retains route settings and points. Still, offline-reader and WebM exports use the bundled atlas; optional OpenStreetMap tiles affect only the current preview and are not included in exports.

Example workflow

Enter a few coordinates or import a supported route file such as GPX, CSV or GeoJSON.
Choose projected straight lines or great-circle flight geometry, adjust the camera and review route warnings.
Preview on the offline atlas, then export a still, offline reader or supported real-time WebM.

Authored example: Create a fictional three-waypoint flight path and compare straight-line with great-circle geometry. Review the approximate distance and note that this exercise does not calculate an actual navigable route.

Limits and handling: The tool animates supplied points or track geometry; it does not calculate driving or walking directions, search addresses, provide elevation or track live GPS. Optional OSM requests load current preview tiles only; exports use the attributed offline coastline atlas.

Map Route Animator questions

Does it find a driving or walking route between addresses?

No. It animates coordinates or imported track geometry and does not provide road routing or address search.

Are OpenStreetMap tiles included in the export?

No. Optional tiles are for the current preview only. Exports use the bundled offline atlas.
