Draw a route or drop in a GPX or KML file. AvoMap animates it over 3D terrain
— and exports the video in up to 4K.
Pick the activity, then click the start and the destination on the map. Or upload a GPX or KML file you already have.
Choose a map style and a route colour, add markers. Turn on the dynamic camera or set the angles yourself.
Press play for a preview in the browser. When it looks right, render the video in 1080p or 4K at 60 fps.
Flights are drawn as great circles on a globe and join up with drives, rides and walks in the same video. AvoMap knows 7,695 airports, so typing the airport code is usually enough. The flight video guide walks through it, including replaying a real track from Flightradar24.
Most trips aren't one activity. You fly in, drive to the trailhead, hike, drive back. Each leg gets its own segment with its own speed and camera, and the animation plays them in order.
Pauses go wherever you want the viewer to catch up: a summit, a city, the end of a day.
Seven map styles, from satellite terrain to a plain dark map, each with dawn, day, dusk and night lighting. 22 route colours. More than 100 marker presets for things like trailheads, campsites and viewpoints, and your own icons if none of them fit.
The AvoMap logo in the corner can be swapped for yours.

The usual way to make a map animation is to trace the route in Google Earth, export the frames and keyframe everything in After Effects. That takes hours per video and a paid Adobe plan.
AvoMap does one job. It takes a route and renders the animation with terrain and camera moves, in a browser, in minutes. If you're comparing tools, the Mult.dev and TravelBoast pages go through it feature by feature.
We have added full 3D course previews with AvoMap, which are useful not only for runners before our races but also for our live race briefings at the event. We recommend AvoMap to fellow race organizers who want to provide better course information to their participants.
