- A sample Greek-island route is shown as a 13.6-second, 1080p export reportedly rendered on a laptop in about 12 seconds.
Field notes
Routes can be drawn by clicking stops, searched by place name, or imported from GPX, KML, KMZ, and IGC; road-following is offered for car, bike, and walking legs. The editor exposes 26 travel modes, 16 map styles, four camera modes, and up to 20 scenes, then renders MP4, transparent WebM, or GIF. The page says rendering happens on the user's computer, rather than uploading the project.
