0:37How to speed up or slow down a route
Control the camera speed of your map animation: set how many seconds each route takes on screen, from a quick 1 second hop to a slow 10 second journey.
Animation timing and camera
Mappi moves the camera for you, and these settings let you direct it. Speed up or slow down each route, set how close the camera gets to each stop, and decide which lines, pins and labels stay on screen as the journey continues.

0:34How to zoom the camera in or out on a destination
Frame each stop of your map animation: zoom the camera closer or wider and move the pin off-center with Adjust view, then save the framing for that stop.
0:41How to choose what stays on the map as the journey moves on
Keep the whole journey on screen, leave a trail, or spotlight only the current stop. Set how long route lines, markers, labels and boundaries stay visible.
Common questions about animation & camera
How do I change the speed of the animation?
Each route has a travel duration from 1 to 10 seconds. Click the route’s duration chip (2.5 s for flights by default) and set a longer time to slow the camera down, or a shorter one to speed it up.
