Who hunted TravelAnimator?
TravelAnimator was hunted by Kevin William David. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Hello Everyone,
Jaseel, one of the creators.
As surprising as it may seem, there is no good solution, yet that takes a Google map URL and makes a good travel video out of it.
TravelAnimator already made videos by dragging lines across waypoints and destinations, but stitching them together to work with Google Maps wasn't easy.
By default, for the free version, you can upload a Google Maps link either from travelanimator.com or in the routes menu on the top right after onboarding and use one of the free models to showcase the travel journey. With the paid version, you can switch from the free models to the paid one, plus access other features.
If there is enough demand for this feature, we will look into supporting multiple Google Maps links, though it can get complex, especially if the two Google Maps links are not connected.
Right now, you can't edit Google Maps routes. We hope to add that as an improvement in the future.
Here are all the other features that you can try:
- Try out 30+ cool maps
- Over 250+ realistic models.
- Upload images for each waypoint that you stop at.
- Try out different kinds of zooms.
- Import GPX files
- 4K & HD exports
- Different aspect ratio support
- Flat & Globe Modes
- Place Labels
- Country Highlight
- Route line customizations
