I've created this animation with Graphhopper routing engine, which uses OpenStreetMap data. I am using FME to parse the GPX responses from the API calls. I've created a grid of roughly 2000 points in western U.S. and use those as destinations and SF as the starting point. The frames are visualized with QGIS Time Manager and gif is built with GIMP. One frame = 10 minutes of traveling and there are total 171 frames.
