I've updated https://map.kmcd.dev/ with some interesting changes. I've created an algorithm to map the cables routes (since precise maps are either secret or TOO detailed). The algorithm had to balance several things: - Curve, so it looks halfway decent. - Avoid land mass (as much as reasonable) - Avoid overlapping similar routes on top of each other. The end result looks fairly good now. I'm still tweaking some details, but I've avoided having to be TOO hands-on with mapping out routes. This initially began with me MANUALLY plotting paths. Halfway through a single cable I figured that a computer should be able to do this infinitely better and faster. I've also improved the performance of the map and added a few quality of life improvements; like giving users a selection of cables if they click on cables that are too close to each other.

    Here's Japan now. It's not perfect, but you can see just how many cables connect different parts of Japan. A lot of those cables were pretty compressed/overlapping with a more naive implementation
