All cables? Everywhere in the entire country? Accurate to the centimeter level and updated on the hour?

Edit: This was flippant, but the real issues are: any map you get will be incomplete and obsolete almost immediately and cables move and sway in the breeze.

It doesn’t need to be at the cm level. Giving them a 10m berth should be fine.

    A 10m berth from wires would exclude a substantial proportion of houses in my city.

      Then they shouldn’t be flying in your city.

      As is apparently becoming obvious.

        I can’t think of a major city I’ve been to on earth where 10M from a hung cable is realistic outside of some suburbs and rural areas.

          Does Manhattan count? I am pretty sure south of 96th street has no above ground utilities.
