Description
Create animated map videos by describing your journey. Map Animation uses AI to generate routes, labels, area highlights, and camera moves, then lets you refine the result through chat and visual edits. Export MP4 or WebM in landscape, portrait, or square—all in your browser. Built for travel recaps, explainers, and geographic stories. Free credits to try; paid plans for more AI generation.

Could you build this?
Partial While prompting an LLM to generate waypoints and camera paths is straightforward, building smooth WebGL camera interpolations, MapLibre layer rendering, and deterministic high-fps client-side video encoding requires non-trivial graphics engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires MapLibre GL JS / Deck.gl embedded in a canvas, driving camera movements via custom Bézier / spline interpolation algorithms synced to a timeline. Video export requires frame-by-frame canvas offscreen rendering hooked into WebCodecs API or FFmpeg.wasm for MP4 container muxing. Key challenges lie in managing WebGL tile loading synchronously during frame-by-frame export to prevent missing assets or stutter in exported videos.
