It’s in the FAQ: “Are the submarine cable paths shown the actual route taken by the cables? No. The cable routes on our map are stylized and do not reflect the actual path taken by systems. This design approach makes it easier to follow different cables and discern their landing points. In real life, cables that cross similar areas of an ocean take similar paths. These paths are chosen after comprehensive marine surveys that select routes to avoid hazardous conditions, which could potentially damage a cable.”
