Map Animator makes animated route maps for travel and adventure videos, right in your browser

“It’s made for people who film their trips: motorcycle tours, cycling, hiking, road trips and sailing. Draw the route or use your GPX recording, give it a look, and get a video clip that shows where you went. Everything happens on your own computer. Your projects are stored in your browser and your videos are made in your browser, so nothing about your trips is sent to us.” A while back when I was looking at doing some travel map animations, I noticed all the reasonably good ones seemed to be paid versions. And if you did not pay, you got very restricted features or limited resolution video output. This does not yet do “everything” but it is pretty good and usable already, and it has received quite a few updates already. I especially like that you can add your own photos to signs, as that was something I was wanting to do. Whilst it is not open source, it is free, no account needed, has no adverts, and runs offline in your own browser. See the website at…
