- — City: streets and place names. Terrain: contour-style outdoor map

Custom Map: use your own map image
Replace the map with your own picture: a hand-drawn map, a trail board, a page from a guidebook.
- — Upload a PNG, JPG or PDF, then crop it
- — Draw your route and add moments on the image. GPS files and Google Maps links can't be placed on a custom image
- — The camera stays aligned with the top of your image. Change it in Camera → Facing
Map tab
Color look and atmosphere
Fine-tune the image in the sections below the styles.
- — Color Look: brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and gamma, plus filter, shadow and highlight colors
- — Atmosphere: vignette, grain, depth of field, fog and haze
- — Overlay Pattern: a grid, dot matrix or crosshatch texture over the map
Map tab
Weather, letterbox and terrain
Set the scene around the route.
- — Environment: clouds, snow and rain
- — Letterbox: cinematic 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 bars
- — Terrain: 3D relief at Natural, Dramatic or Cinematic height, and an option to hide the route, markers and cards behind mountains
- — Border Crossings: turn the highlight for each country crossing along your route on or off
