**RouteFlick Editorial**Product guide from the team building RouteFlick

Published July 19, 2026Updated October 5, 2026

Riders measure trips in roads, not cities -- the pass, the coast road, the 300-mile day. A motorcycle map video shows exactly that: a bike tracing the real tarmac across a 3D globe, with the mountains it climbed rendered in actual relief. Here's how to make one.

About this guide and its evidence

Published by RouteFlick, the maker of the product described here. This is first-party guidance, not an independent review.

Route previews are actual exports. An example route illustrates a workflow; it does not prove every feature or a competitor's output. Export speed depends on your device.

Creator workflow and comparison documentation reviewed October 5, 2026. Named vendor sources support the documented facts; this is not a purchased-plan test or an export-speed benchmark. Unknown specifications are marked as not verified. Confirm current terms before buying.

**Real product, not a mockup.** This is the RouteFlick studio and export flow used to make the videos described in this guide.

## From a GPX track (the rider's way)

1.  Export the GPX from wherever you track -- a Garmin/TomTom unit, Calimoto, REVER, or your phone.
2.  Import it in RouteFlick (Pro) -- the route follows your exact recorded line, hairpins included, with the real distances.
3.  Switch the vehicle to Motorbike in the stop editor.

## Or just type the waypoints

No track? Add the towns you rode through in order and drive-mode legs snap to the real roads between them. For a mountain route, add the pass-top villages as stops so the road over the mountains is the road you rode, not the motorway around them.

## Make the terrain earn its place

-   Turn the Terrain slider up -- at full drama the Alps and Rockies rise in shaded relief and your route visibly climbs them.
-   The Horizon camera (~45°) puts sky behind the ridgelines; Flow follows the route directly with smooth, restrained camera movement.
-   Speed control at 1.5-2x suits a big tour -- a 4,000 km loop plays in half a minute.

💡 Group ride? Duplicate the trip, change the route colour per rider, and cut the exports together for the club's channel.

Export in vertical for Reels or 4K widescreen for the tour recap. Ride, import, publish -- the map does the storytelling.
