Upload the track from your ride, run, hike or flight. AvoMap draws it over real terrain
— and exports an MP4 in up to 4K.
Open the editor, click Select GPS File and pick the GPX. KML works too. The track appears on the 3D map.
Press play. Set the length of the video, pick a map style, add markers, turn on the dynamic camera.
Render the MP4 in 1080p or 4K at 60 fps and download it.
A GPX file carries elevation and AvoMap uses it. The track climbs and drops over satellite terrain and the camera flies alongside. Turn on the dynamic camera and it picks the angles for you.
One click adds an animated altitude chart, calculated from the points in the GPX. Colours and style are yours to set.

“With AvoMap, we’ve added stunning 3D previews of our race courses — not just helpful for runners prepping before race day, but also a game-changer for our live briefings on-site.

“I run a YouTube channel focused on trail running. For our Live Race Briefings, AvoMap helps me present race maps exactly how I want. It’s the perfect tool to bring my ideas to life as a content creator.”
“Avomap is a fantastic tool with an incredible range of options for preparing a route in a unique and exciting way. This makes cross-country runs truly enjoyable!”
“I discovered AvoMap by chance when searching for a way to create a professional route map for a local 10K and Half Marathon event. Not only was I able to display the route in a polished video, but I was also able to add notable markers, and display the elevation on screen. My client is delighted, and I'll definitely use the service again in the future.”
“I have searched through a number of tools on the Internet to be able to visualize the routes of my road trips and vacations. None of the tools are as good as AvoMap, and it is improved almost weekly. You can really see the attention to detail in every feature.”
“An extremely user-friendly and intuitive tool, and of highest quality mapping and imaging I've seen! I use it regularly to visualise my hikes and treks in many videos I produce for my YouTube channel. It is a tool that meets all of my YouTube channel's needs.”
“Work has taken me all over the world and ignited my interest in documenting my travels. AvoMap provides me a beautiful way to see my journey and remind me of the many beautiful places I have seen.”
“AvoMap was incredibly easy to use — the learning curve was almost non-existent. Within minutes, I understood how everything worked, and just a bit later, I had a beautiful map video ready to go.”
“AvoMap is the perfect tool for promoting our trail races in Tây Giang, in the highlands of Vietnam. The videos bring our routes to life and help attract more runners to the region. Super easy to use and effective!”

The editing tools are the best I’ve found for customizing the fly-throughs I want to share, and the 4K render quality is beautiful. Plus, the AvoMap team is incredibly responsive to support questions and open to new ideas.”
You decide how long the video runs. Each segment has its own speed, so a slow climb can take its time and the descent can go by in a blink. Waypoints in the file show up as markers, and you can add more by hand.
GPX Animator is a good open-source desktop tool. It is also a Java download, it renders flat top-down animations, and every tweak means rendering again. AvoMap runs in the browser, uses 3D terrain and shows the change the moment you make it.
The trade-off is plain: GPX Animator exports for free. AvoMap charges per finished video and gives you the editor for free.
Every tracking app exports one. Strava has a GPX download on each activity page, and AllTrails exports routes the same way. Garmin Connect exports GPX from every activity, Komoot does too (Anleitung auf Deutsch), and Wahoo devices write GPX natively.
Got a KML or KMZ from Google Earth instead? Upload the KML directly, or run a KMZ through the free KMZ to GPX converter first. The GPX viewer shows you what a file contains before you start, and the rest of the free GPS file tools convert between GPX, KML and KMZ in the browser.
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.
AvoMap works seamlessly with all your favorite platforms. Just export your adventures and bring them to life with stunning animations in seconds.
The editor is free without limits: upload the GPX, preview the whole animation, change styles and camera as long as you want. Exporting the MP4 costs one credit, from $9 for five. If you need free exports and can live with 2D output and a Java install, GPX Animator does that.
Yes. The export is a standard MP4 at 1080p or 4K, 60 frames per second, in landscape, portrait or square.
The track coordinates, the waypoints and the elevation. Playback speed is set per segment, so a six-hour ride can be a thirty-second clip.
Yes. Each file becomes a segment, and you can mix them with drawn routes and flights. A multi-day trip fits in one animation.
KML uploads directly. KMZ goes through the free KMZ to GPX converter on this site first.
A few minutes for most videos. 4K takes longer than 1080p.
