How places connect
One format, two episodes · 1:1 · 20.7 s · 9 beats
Save the video as a format and name the next place. The agent keeps the beats, camera moves and look, and swaps in the new place, so your channel stays recognisable.

Why Maptake

FAQ
No. Maptake runs in your browser and exports MP4 directly, so there is nothing to install. If you like to finish elsewhere, export every shot as its own clip for CapCut, or on Pro a ready-made After Effects pack.
The map videos trending on TikTok, Reels and Shorts: travel routes, history and geography explainers, data comparisons, news and sports maps, and property locations. Anything that happens somewhere on a map. A video can have camera moves over a 3D map, borders and areas, routes along real roads and trails, labels with photos and numbers, and your audio.
Comment on the moment and ask for another take, or fix it yourself in the editor. Stopping keeps work already applied as a partial take; you can return to the previous take. A failed take leaves your project unchanged, with its draft available to review.
From Atlas, the map data built into Maptake: OpenStreetMap and Natural Earth on map tiles from Protomaps, satellite imagery from Esri, plus 3D terrain, buildings, place search and routing. You search by name, so you never download or license map data yourself. Every video carries the credit line these sources ask for.
Yes. Sign up for the free plan and start now. Maptake is new: features improve every week and you may hit a bug. Founding members get a reply to every bug report within 48 hours and a public changelog every week.
Maptake is independent software. The agent runs on large language models from third-party AI providers that we choose, and we may switch as better ones become available. The current provider is listed in our Privacy Policy. The agent does not generate photos or video footage: every frame is rendered from map data, built-in graphics and the files you upload.
The offer closes for good. New subscribers pay the public prices: Pro at $40 a month, or $30 a month billed yearly.
You can cancel any time. The founding price lasts for as long as the subscription stays active. If you cancel and come back later, you pay the public price.
The app is in English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Arabic and Hebrew. Mobile and desktop apps are planned; the web app works now.
