WOW!!
I'm very happy to help you!

After many tries the solution is below:
With photoshop or similar create a new layer in you  map file. On this layer
design (with black ink anti-aliased) your travel route (use a thick
pencil!).
Separate each layer and save ONLY map (full color) and ONLY travel route (8
bit gray white background) in separate files.
Go in Premiere, import both files, place on S2 track the travel route file
and extend it for the preferred time.
Place on S1 track (exactly above the travel route) your preferred color
matte background and set transparency to track matte (invert key on). Now
apply the movement you prefer (following the real travel route) with
movement settings.
After that you can check the results clicking on the playback line.
Now using the virtual clip function drag both the above tracks on track S2
below the map (that you have inserted on S1 track) and set transparency to
chroma with black key; make the usually adjustement and now you can see the
coloured travel route moving on the map!
If you have trouble feel free to contact me to:
