An Indiana Jones style map sequence were a plane (With a red line trail behind it) travels from Syria to France
@oscar-c Is that a question?
Maybe consider Magix Movie Studio. that program includes MAGIX Travel Maps, there's videos online about it.
Assuming you have a Vegas Pro account you can use the Upgrade purchase offer for £19.99. (Although you can use the upgrade option to purchase this is not an upgrade & won't affect your Vegas Pro)
Look at this
MAGIX Travel Maps is really good and I use it myself, but if you are wanting to replicate the travelling map in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with the route line progressing across a chart map which itself is panning across the globe from point A to point B (and they did it extraordinarily well back in 1980 when production would have been in progress), then I think another method would be needed.
First of all, you'd need to create your own chart map (to replicate the "Raiders" style) in an image editor which would need to be wide enough in aspect ratio to enable it to be panned from point A to point B in Vegas Pro. And then the red line track would need to be created with an alpha channel to overlay on an upper track in Vegas Pro. This shouldn't be too hard using a slow-moving travelling wipe (like in "Raiders") particularly given that the route from Damascus to Paris - assuming a WNW air route - is quite straight.
As a reminder, the "Raiders" map tracks are in the following YT video:
I always use Vasco da Gama from www.motionstudios.de for all my animated travel maps. It comes at a price but I got a free version with Magix Movie Studio a few years ago and then upgraded. It can do everything you could ever want and you can create an *.mp4 of the travel animation to import into Vegas Pro.
Vasco da Gama 9 also came with Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 14.
@oscar-c I use motionstudio's Vasco Da Gama as well, but it is expensive, fairly complex and a bit overkill for simple projects. What is highly recommended however, is a neat little program which works astonishing well, written as freeware (you can donate) by a Dutch developer: https://www.routegenerator.net/index.html
Wow! The Vasco da Gama program looks excellent ... but unfortunately it is really pricey.
The best route animation that I've ever seen are the travelling 3D topographical route maps used by les Télévisions Françaises for each stage of the Tour de France cycling classic (just 9 weeks to go until stage 1 in Lille).
Nonetheless, TF's route map style wouldn't lend itself to a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" style route map I wouldn't think.

Magix Travel maps following the route, the only thing I did to this was key out the blue sea so the added images of the visited cities would show through. (I didn't mess with the speed, it's a bit fast at the start but that could be finessed)
Very Creative.😀 Your video is an excellent example of what can be done with Magix Travel Maps. The Movie Studio upgrade price is very reasonable to obtain this excellent stand-alone program. One would think, Vegas Pro, being promoted as; "Your Creative Partner" would include this program as part of its offering. I am sure there are a lot of Creators who post Travel Vlogs on platforms such as YouTube and would benefit from such a tool. And for those Creators who would never use it, they would not need to install it.
