Frequently asked questions
A few answers to help with your first journey.
Do I need an account?
No. You can start right away. Projects are saved in the browser on your device.
Are my routes and photos sent to a server?
Not during normal editing. Editing, photo processing and video export happen locally. The map uses OpenFreeMap and optionally EOX::Maps, and place search uses Photon. Optional AI control shares the route, labels and settings with your chosen MCP client through the local backend. Details are covered in the privacy policy.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
You need internet access to load the app and map, and to search for places. Projects and video rendering are local, but fully offline operation is not supported.
Where are my projects, and how do I move them to another computer?
Find them in “My projects” in the same browser. Download a project as JSON in project settings, then use “Import JSON” on the other device. MP4 is the finished video; JSON is needed for further editing.
Can I lose a saved project?
Yes, if you clear site data or delete your browser profile. Private browsing may also delete data when the session ends. Download JSON backups regularly. We do not have a server copy from which to recover your project.
Why is the map not loading?
Check your internet connection and whether your browser supports WebGL 2. Enable graphics acceleration in its settings. Map provider outages or blocked external connections may prevent the map from loading.
Why does MP4 export fail or take a long time?
Export requires WebCodecs with an H.264 encoder. If your browser does not provide it, try an up-to-date version of Chrome or Edge on a computer. Speed depends on your device, animation duration, resolution and FPS. If you have problems, lower the quality or FPS and leave the tab open until rendering finishes.
Which video formats and quality settings are available?
We export silent MP4 videos at 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K and at 24, 25, 30, 50 or 60 fps. Available aspect ratios are 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3 and 21:9. The export panel shows the exact video dimensions.
Can I import GPX or my own photo?
Yes. In the “Points” panel, choose “Import GPX” (up to 20 MB). Import replaces the route, simplifies it with a 5 m tolerance and joins segments in file order; the result can contain up to 5000 points. You can also import a complete JSON project. For a marker, upload a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 15 MB; the photo is cropped to a square locally and saved in the project.
How do I delete a project?
In the library on the home page, choose “Delete” for the project and confirm. If you want to return to editing later, download a JSON backup first.
