The plugin builds animated routes from point layers. Choose a fan-in destination (legs from every place to one hub) or an ordered multi-leg route, and a marker travels along each trail. Vehicles include plane, ship, car, train, or a custom SVG/PNG marker. Every layer is collected into a "route-tracker" layer group and all layers animate together off one shared clock. Playback and the set of animation layers are saved with the QGIS project and restored when it is reopened. Frames can be exported as a PNG sequence (with an ffmpeg command) or a self-contained HTML viewer. This is a visualisation aid, not a navigation product: the coastline mask is coarse and routes may not use canals or narrow straits.
