Could you build this?

Partial While basic route plotting on maps is simple, generating smoothly animated high-resolution video exports of travel routes with custom 3D terrain and vehicle icons requires complex graphics and video encoding pipelines.

What it would actually take: A client or server-side rendering pipeline utilizing Mapbox GL JS/deck.gl or Three.js to render interpolation paths and camera movement along GPX/GeoJSON coordinates. The animated canvas frames must then be captured and encoded into MP4 video using ffmpeg (via WebAssembly or backend worker queues), which requires expertise in computer graphics, coordinate transforms, and video transcoding performance.
