Here is the thread for you. I create maps in Google Maps and then use corresponding imagery from Google Earth. Very simple using the Gradient transition. In particular, look at the YT example in the 5th post.

As wwaag also mentions in his first post in the other thread do not forget the very easy RouteGenerator ( http://www.routegenerator.net/)

Don't miss to take a look onto Route Animation Filter which is a freeware plug-in for Vegas Pro and which should do the job inside Vegas Pro.

If you are interested in a serious map, you should look for a earlier version of Vasco da Gama from MotionStudios. Anything after version 6 will produce brilliant maps of whatever complexity you like. It is almost impossible to watch a night of TV and not see a map created with Vasco da Gama. With VdG you can produce moving objects, moving earth, moving route, shifting light, 3D head objects, location names, etc. etc.

I say earlier version, because up-to-date versions are quite expensive. Magix often includes older versions of VdG as add-on and extras with its products. I recently received an e-mail offer that included VdG 8 as a free add-in. MotionStudios also makes many 3D head/location objects and fantastic maps for all occasions, but they also get very expensive unless it is a business expense.
