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 GeoJSON: the cable routes (as MultiLineStrings) and landing points (as Points).

This interactive map Javascript was created using the RedwoodJS web application framework. The Javascript for the map was written in-house at TeleGeography.
