Cloud Sync for Travel Animator — your routes, on every device
Cloud Sync was our #1 most-requested feature. Here's what we built and why. Hey Product Hunt! 👋 You'd spend time carefully planning a route on your phone, adding stops, waypoints, the images, then switch to your tablet and... it's gone. You're starting over. We've been there. It's frustrating, and it shouldn't happen. ☁️ What we built: Cloud Sync automatically syncs all your saved routes across...
Cover Images for Travel Animator — turn any route into a thumbnail in one tap
We kept hearing the same thing from creators: the video was great, but they were still screenshotting a random frame to use as a thumbnail. That felt like a gap we could close. So we added Cover Images. Export any route as a standalone image — 6 styles, ready to use as a thumbnail, a post, or the opening frame of your video. No extra steps, no third-party tool. What’s included: · Export your...
We made GPX files editable. Every single point.
Quick context: GPX files power route animations in Travel Animator. But once uploaded, they were mostly read-only — you could only tweak start and end. We kept hearing the same thing: “I want to add a photo here” or “swap the model at this turn.” So we unlocked the entire path. Zoom in → every waypoint appears → tap to customise. Models, images, whatever you need. One GPX file. Infinite...

New distance unit added: Nautical Miles
A few users who create sea route animations told us something simple: “Everything looks great… but the distance is in km.” For ocean routes, nautical miles are the standard. Cruise routes, sailing journeys, ferry crossings, aviation paths — they all use NM. So we added it. Now in TravelAnimator you can display route distance in: • Kilometers • Miles • Nautical Miles Switch anytime depending on...
Plot Real Roads, Not Straight Lines
While building TravelAnimator, we kept noticing the same feedback again and again. Most apps (including ours earlier) draw straight lines between two points when you create a route. It works… but it doesn’t feel real. Road trips cut through mountains. Hikes go across lakes. A lot of our negative reviews were actually about this. People wanted routes that follow real roads, not straight lines....
New Feature: Invert Routes in TravelAnimator
One thing we noticed while building TravelAnimator: Many travel videos are actually round trips. Road trips. Hikes that return to the starting point. Cycling routes. Out-and-back journeys. But creating the return path meant manually rebuilding the same route in reverse. Not ideal. So we shipped a simple solution. 🔁 Invert Routes Now you can turn any route into a return journey with a single...
