SketchMap

Send the route, not a screenshot.

Sketch a route between any two points, watch it animate along real roads, and share a link that redraws itself in anyone's browser.

No account. No watermark. Free.

Live capture · real roads, real checkpoints

Everything a shared route needs, nothing it doesn't

Four things the file-based tools can't do, shown with real captures from the app — not mockups.

Style

Make it look like your route

Five colour ramps, four map themes and adjustable arrow density — every preset previews live on the actual route, so you pick a look by watching it, not by guessing from a swatch.

  • Aurora, heat, sunset, ocean or a flat mono line
  • Light and dark themes, matched across map, exports and links
  • No save button — every change redraws instantly
Share

One link is the route

There is no file to export and send. The whole route — stops, style, palette — lives in the URL, so sending a route is just sending a link.

  • Opens and rebuilds live in anyone's browser, no app required
  • Editable on arrival — the recipient can restyle or extend it
  • No account on either end, no watermark on what they see
Cyan → pink
Mint → lime

Same route, same night theme, two presets — restyled without a reload.

Routing

Real roads, not a drawn arc

Every route is turn-by-turn routed, not a smooth curve between two pins — it bends, forks and doubles back exactly where the actual streets do.

  • Up to 27 stops in one route, reorder or reverse them freely
  • Works for any two points — a commute, a race course, a road trip
  • Distance and duration read straight from the routed path, not a straight line
Travel modes

Mapped exactly for how you move

Bike, run, drive or transit each pull mode-specific directions — not one path recoloured to look different.

  • Drive routes respect one-ways and legal turns a cyclist can ignore
  • Walk and run routes take footpaths and pedestrian links cars can't
  • Switch modes on the same stops and watch the path actually change

Three steps

There is no project to create and nothing to save. The address bar holds the whole route, which is why sending one is just sending a link.

  1. Add your stops

    Type two places, or twenty-seven. Pick bike, run, drive or transit.

  2. Style and play it

    Colour ramps, directional arrows and a head marker that runs the course.

  3. Share the link

    Whoever opens it gets the same route, rebuilt live — and can edit and export it.

Draw your first route

It takes about ten seconds and costs nothing.
