How can we help you create?

Everything you need to turn a route into a cinematic story map — importing, styling, sharing, and your plan.

Getting started

Import your route

Bring in a GPS track from a file, connect Strava, or draw a route by hand directly on the map.

— Upload GPX, FIT, KML, KMZ, TCX or GeoJSON — processed in the background, ready in seconds
— Connect your Strava account to import an activity in one click
— No GPS file? Draw a route by clicking points straight onto the map

Composing

Pick how the camera follows your route and how the map itself looks, then fine-tune the pacing.

— Camera presets: Director, Fixed, Crane, Aerial — each with Near/Mid/Far distance
— Pace slider controls how quickly the story moves through your stops
— Choose from built-in map styles, or upload your own image/PDF as a Custom Map (Plus)

Publishing

Turn your finished story into a link anyone can open, or drop it straight into your own site.

— Toggle a public share link on or off any time — the token stays private until you do
— Embed the interactive player in your own website with a copy-paste iframe
— Plus unlocks a custom, human-readable share URL instead of the random token

Account

Free covers everything needed to make and share a story map; Plus removes the room limits and the watermark.

— Free: 3 projects, 10 stops per story, watermarked shares and snapshots
— Plus: unlimited projects, 200 stops per story, watermark-free exports, Custom Map, custom share URLs
— A failed renewal payment keeps your Plus access for a grace period while it retries — nothing is lost
