Animate a route in three simple steps.
From a list of waypoints to a finished route map video in minutes.
- Step 1
Add your start, end, and stops
Search by city, address, trailhead, or landmark. Add as many waypoints as the route had.
- Step 2
Pick the transport and the look
Choose driving, cycling, running, or walking. Pick a map theme, route color, and aspect ratio.
- Step 3
Export in 4K and share where athletes watch
Render in 4K and drop the route into a YouTube training breakdown, a TikTok or Reels recap, a Strava activity post, or a sponsor-facing race writeup.
The fastest way to turn a GPS route into a video people watch.
Routes are stories. The marathon you finished, the cross-country drive you survived, the gravel route you scouted, the long-haul run you delivered. A static map cannot tell that story. An animated route map can.
Strava screenshots and static GPX images flatten the run. A motion designer per route is not realistic for everyday training or weekly delivery content. Mappi sits in the middle: drop your start, end, and waypoints, and the route animates itself across real roads or trails in a clean 4K MP4.

Animated route map FAQs
Quick answers before you animate your first route.
How do I turn a GPS route into a video?
Open Mappi, add your start, end, and waypoints, pick a transport mode, choose a map theme and aspect ratio, then export in 4K.
Do the routes follow real roads and trails?
Yes. Mappi uses real-world GPS and routing data. Driving routes follow real highways. Hiking and trail routes follow real paths.
Can I make a vertical route map for TikTok or Reels?
Yes. Animate the route once, then export 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 1:1 for Strava and Instagram posts, 4:5 for portrait feed, and 16:9 for YouTube race recaps and training channels — no rebuilding between formats.
Can I animate cycling, running, and hiking routes?
Yes. Pick the transport mode that matches your route. Mappi adjusts the path for cars, bikes, runners, or hikers.
Are the exported route videos watermarked?
No. Paid renders export as watermark-free 4K MP4 files. Post the same video to your Strava activity, a YouTube training channel, a TikTok race recap, or a sponsored writeup without any restrictions.
Do I need editing or design skills?
None. There are no keyframes, no timelines, and no motion plugins to wrestle with. If you can drop a pin in Google Maps, you can turn a route into a Mappi video — the workflow is built for athletes and drivers, not designers.
