Flight animation: your flight path on a map
Add where you took off and where you landed. Mapae flies a plane along the great-circle arc — the way planes really fly — on a 3D globe, and brings the camera down to your destination. Add the drive from the airport, and it becomes one film.

The curve of the Earth, on screen
Long trips are filmed on a globe, so an ocean crossing reads as distance and every stop stays in view. Short hops stay on a flat map.
Flights and roads together
Fly to Lisbon, drive to the coast, take the ferry: each leg keeps its own way of travelling, and the camera changes scale at each stop — up for the flight, down to the road.
Every leg the same size
A two-hour drive after a ten-hour flight still fills the screen: each leg is framed on its own, so short stretches are never a dot.
Questions
Does the plane follow the real route?
It follows the great-circle arc between the two places — the shortest path over the globe, which is close to how long-haul flights fly.
Can I add layovers?
Yes. Add each airport as a stop; every leg is animated in order.
Is it free?
Yes — 2 films free — no sign-up, no card (free films carry a small mapae mark and end on a short card).
What do I get?
An MP4 video, 1080 × 1920 (9:16) at 30 fps, ready for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
