[@dianaluik888]

THANK YOU !!!! How about when I have a big journey I want (have to) make a presentation between different countries and I would like to add the also on my Instagram - do I have to make several slides? what would be the right size for a presentation and Instagram ?

[@stewartfraser2740]

Thanks Ruan, this tutorial was excellently produced and explained. I have one query before I attempt to implement it; I will be using Windows and Powerpoint, how different will it be using the latter rather than Keypoint?

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

I’ve not tried to do this in PowerPoint yet but will try this week and let you know.

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

You can do animations in PowerPoint by selecting the draw tool to draw your map route and then right click on the route and select animate styles and then select replay from the drop down menu. You can also do some basic editing to the line type and colour and change the animation duration. It’s not as good as MacBook but it can be done, hope this helps!

[@apiitg]

Interesting. Can this be done in Windows like on PowerPoint or other software?

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

Yes it can!

[@apiitg]

@ruanatfuturevisionroom can you please make a video on how to do this in windows?

[@bertwagner3768]

You say this can also be done in Power Point. I did not see matching features for creating the points in that program. Do you have another video describing the process in Power Point?

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

You can do animations in power point by using the draw tool to draw the route and then right clilck on your route and select animate styles…and then select replay from the drop down menu. Hope this helps!

[@carpediemwithLesli]

This is what I am looking for but I think this is only for Apple products. Any other program that can do this for Windows??

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

Yes, you can do something similar in PowerPoint

[@krislynnejane3951]

Pentool not available in iphone?

[@SER.SAUDAVEL]

I could not find this effect in Powerpoint! :(

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

You can do animations in power point by using the draw tool to draw the route and then right clilck on your route and select animate styles…and then select replay from the drop down menu. Hope this helps!

[@Flightofhope]

Which is the presentation app

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

It is called Keynote (for a Mac) but you can also use PowerPoint if you have a windows computer

[@samickkk]

Works only on Apple devices :(

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

You can do something similar on PowerPoint on Microsoft
