In plain words
Submarine Cable Map is an interactive visualization of the underwater cables that transmit global telecommunications data. It displays the locations and routes of submarine cables worldwide along with ownership information for each cable. The map serves anyone interested in understanding the physical infrastructure behind international internet and phone communications, including tech professionals, researchers, and curious internet users. It provides a transparent view of the complex network of cables connecting continents beneath the ocean.

GeoTraceroute – Traceroutes on a 3D globe and submarine cablesApr 2026 · geotraceroute.com · ▲21I've been working on GeoTraceroute for a while and just shipped v2.3 with submarine cable inference. A few things that might interest HN: - 320 community-contributed nodes across 50 countries, all volunteer-run - Three views: 3D globe with day/night rendering, 2D map, and a topological mode that infers submarine cable routing - The submarine cable inference is the part I find most interesting. Since cable routers don't respond to ICMP, the underwater segments are invisible to standard traceroute. The tool detects ocean crossings by geolocation delta between consecutive hops, then infers…
I made a tactical map-based WWII submarine simulator (public beta)May 2026 · silentshark.app · ▲125I've seen quite a few simming discussions on HN, so thought some of you might like this - I've created a map-centered, tactical submarine simulator and it's been a blast to make. I grew up playing Silent Service II on Atari ST with my dad, then got into Silent Hunter IV in the 2000s, and most recently have been loving the more recent UBoat. In each case, the part I always enjoy the most is the plotting and charting aspect - essentially beating uncertain estimates with geometry. So I decided to see how far I could get making my own sim that focused nearly entirely on that aspect. You listen…
