Watch documentaries with a map beside them
Long documentaries cover a lot of ground. Map Along keeps a live map beside the video and pins every place as it is mentioned, so after an hour you still know where everything happened.
What Map Along shows you
Built for long videos
Videos up to two hours can be mapped. The list keeps every place with its timestamp, so you can find a scene again.
Nature, science, history
Mountain ranges, deserts, rivers, research stations and ancient sites are all found, not just cities.
No captions? Still works
On a paid plan, Map Along can listen to a video without captions and map it, for one extra credit. You see the cost before anything is charged.
Keep the map
Every video you open is saved under My videos in the toolbar popup. Reopening it is free, and you can export the map as CSV, KML or PNG.
