Custom animation effects: drawing map lines
(Intermediate)
Tip: The instructions below reproduce a route on a map containing three points. You can add more points to your map, if necessary. If your points are positioned differently than in the example above, you will need to modify the direction of the wipe animation effect for each line between the points, so that the wipe follows the direction of your route. (In the Custom Animation task pane, select the wipe effect for each freeform line, and then under Modify: Wipe, in the Direction list, select From Left, From Right, From Top, or From Bottom.)
