A line that draws itself

Your route sweeps across the map stop by stop: the vehicle rides the tip, pins drop in and labels pop up.

Frequently asked questions

What does MAPROUTE do?+

MAPROUTE turns a trip into an animated map video: you add your stops, pick a map style, and export a video in which the route draws itself from stop to stop. Choose plane, car, bus, train, boat or walking for each leg (27 vehicles in all), add photos at your stops, music and your logo, and export for Reels, TikTok, Shorts or YouTube. It runs in your web browser, with nothing to install.

Is MAPROUTE free?+

Yes: making and exporting videos is free and unlimited, with a small “maproute.app” watermark on free videos, and every feature is free to try. To remove the watermark, sign in for one free clean export, then buy credits (3 for €5 or 10 for €15, one clean 1080p export each) or go Pro (€12 a month or €59 a year) for unlimited clean exports with 4K, your logo and GPX tracks. Prices include VAT where applicable.

How do I remove the watermark?+

Export a clean video: your first one is free when you sign in, each credit removes the watermark from one export, and Pro removes it from all of them. Free videos carry a small “maproute.app” mark near the top of the frame. The small “© OpenStreetMap contributors” map credit stays on every video that shows the map, as the map data’s licence requires.

Do I need to sign up?+

No: you can build and export watermarked videos without an account. Sign in with a one-time email link to save your projects, get your free clean export, or buy credits or Pro.

Which formats, sizes and frame rates can I export?+

MP4 and WebM video in 1080p at 30 or 60 fps, plus animated GIF, in vertical 9:16 (1080×1920), square 1:1 (1080×1080) or wide 16:9 (1920×1080). Pro adds 4K (up to 3840×2160), which needs Chrome or Edge on a computer. GIFs are up to 480 px on the long side, 15 fps and 15 seconds.

Which map styles and travel modes are there?+

There are 12 map styles, including satellite and 3D terrain, and 6 travel modes (plane, car, bus, train, boat and walking) with 27 vehicles, from airliners and steam trains to camel caravans and sailing ships. You can also choose from 10 colour palettes, 6 fonts and 4 camera views (flat, tilted, follow and street-level), show the whole Earth as a globe, and start from 39 famous routes (from Route 66 and the seven wonders to the world's best beaches and the Odyssey) or 12 ready-made styles.

Can I use the videos commercially?+

Yes: you may use your exported videos for personal and commercial purposes, including ads. Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database License; every export that shows the map includes this credit, and you must not remove it. The built-in music is public domain (CC0) and free to use, and the famous-route photos are public domain or CC BY, credited on screen while they show.
