TeleGeography's submarine cable map is based on our authoritative Global Bandwidth research. The map depicts active and planned submarine cable systems, their landing stations, cable length, ready for service (RFS) date, owners, and website. Visit https://www.submarinecablemap.com.
Take, for example, the below map, which lets you slide between a 1912 map of trade routes and Telegeography's map of submarine cables today. The economic interdependence has remained, but the.

How did you make the Submarine Cable Map?
TeleGeography draws the cable routes and plots the landing points with Adobe Illustrator. Using Avenza's MAPublisher plug-in, which works with Illustrator, two sets of data are exported as KML files: the cable routes (as MultiLineStrings) and landing points (as Points). These KML files are then parsed to create CSV files that are transformed to GeoJSON.
This interactive map Javascript was created using the Ember web application framework using emberCLI. The Javascript for the map was written in-house at TeleGeography.
