Three taps to a shareable video

No editing skills needed. No accounts, no exports, no friction. Just pick a route, choose a look, and share.

01

Set your route

Search any address or drop a pin on the map. Use your current location as the starting point — Rumbo calculates the full route instantly.

02

Pick a theme

Choose from five map themes — from minimal dark to warm rose — and three quality modes to match the moment.

03

Share it

Save to your camera roll or share directly through any app. They get a video — just press play.

For your parents (or anyone who doesn't love Google Maps) They get a video. They press play. They see the streets they recognize and know exactly where to go. No more "click here, then swipe, now scroll down..." calls.
When directions get complicated You start typing "take the second exit, then the road curves right, then past the..." — just send a video instead.
When GPS takes them on a tour The pin is one street off and suddenly they're circling the block. A video shows the actual approach — what it looks like when you're getting close.
When they won't have signal Driving to the cabin. Heading to the countryside. The GPS gives up halfway. They watch the video before they leave — and they know the way.
Runners & cyclists Animate your training route and post it to your story. Five map themes, three quality modes.

Routes anyone can follow

I built Rumbo after one too many "click here, now scroll, now tap the blue dot — no the OTHER blue dot" calls with my family. Easier to just send a video.

— The Rumbo team
Three taps. One route anyone can follow.

Five ways to see the world

Each theme transforms the entire map — roads, buildings, water, terrain. Pick the one that looks right to you.

Default
Midnight
Carbon
Rose
Lavender

Pick your level of detail

Every mode uses the same engine — they differ in how much road you see per frame.

Fast

Quick previews when you need the gist. Great for long routes or quick shares.

Detail level Essential turns
Render speed Seconds
Best for Quick shares

Detailed

Silky smooth, every meter rendered. For when the route matters.

Detail level Every meter
Render speed 1-2 minutes
Best for Smooth videos

Your privacy isn't a feature — it's the foundation

Rumbo was built with a simple rule: if we don't need your data, we don't collect it. And we don't need it.

OSRM — Routing Nominatim — Search Carto — Map Tiles OSM — Map Data
No accounts, no cloud
Everything happens on your device. There's no server, no login, no sync. Your routes stay yours.
Location only when you ask
We access your location only when you tap "use current location" — and only to set the starting pin. Never in the background.
Zero analytics, zero tracking
No Firebase. No Amplitude. No Mixpanel. We literally don't know how many people use the app. And that's fine.
Open-source APIs
All routing and map data comes from free, community-maintained services. No proprietary lock-in.
