See what some of them have to say about AvoMap
With AvoMap, we’ve added stunning 3D previews of our race courses — not just helpful for runners prepping before race day, but also a game-changer for our live briefings on-site. If you're a race organizer looking to give participants a clearer, more immersive course overview, we highly recommend it.
I discovered AvoMap by chance when searching for a way to create a professional route map for a local 10K and Half Marathon event. Not only was I able to display the route in a polished video, but I was also able to add notable markers, and display the elevation on screen. My client is delighted, and I'll definitely use the service again in the future.

An extremely user-friendly and intuitive tool, and of highest quality mapping and imaging I've seen! I use it regularly to visualise my hikes and treks in many videos I produce for my YouTube channel. It is a tool that meets all of my YouTube channel's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can I use?
We support GPX, KML, or manual route creation with our map editor.
Is video editing experience required?
Nope! Everything is done in your browser.
Can I combine walking, flying, and driving in one video?
Yes! AvoMap supports mixed-mode animations. You can switch between walk, drive, fly, or pause for each segment of your journey — all in one smooth video.
Do I need a GPS file to get started?
Nope. You can draw your route manually on the map if you don’t have a GPX or KML file. It’s fast, intuitive, and gives you full control.
Can I pause the animation at specific points?
Absolutely. Add pauses anywhere along your route to highlight key locations or give viewers a moment to absorb the view.
What’s the difference between AvoMap and traditional route planners?
Traditional route tools show static lines on a map. AvoMap brings your journey to life with motion, elevation, and cinematic storytelling — like a drone shot of your route.
How long does it take to render a video?
Most videos are ready within a few minutes. Even 4K videos render quickly thanks to our optimized cloud-based pipeline.
Is there a watermark on the final video?
No watermark is added when you export a video with credits. You fully own the result — no branding or logos. This upgrade costs just two additional render credits.
Can I add music or voiceover?
Not directly inside AvoMap (yet), but you can import your video into any video editor like iMovie, Premiere, or CapCut to add music, narration, or effects.
Do you support multi-day trips or multiple maps in one video?
Yes. You can chain segments together for multi-day journeys and even insert pauses between days to keep things organized.
