Hi there. I am trying to make a panning map effect in PD8. For example, a map of the East Coast of the United States . The city of New York will be highlighted ( or ballooned or animated ) and it will pan down to Florida, displaying the cities that I've visited along the way. The map will be a JPEG photo. My biggest challenge is making the titles of the cities " Flow " with the panning downward.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Use an image editor.
Create your map, add the items you wish to the image, then save and bring the new modified map into PD.
Also, there is a handy little item called Route Generator, it's freeware, and an excellent tool for a number of things.

You can use this with maps, or "live" drawing animations for X's & O's in sports videos, "live" circling of objects to point them out, be creative. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
