This is a heatmap showing the density of virtual boat positions (captured every 12 hours in this case) over the past couple years in the SailNavSim sailing navigation simulator [1].

Data was extracted from SailNavSim's SQLite database, and the image was generated using Gnuplot.

Kind of interesting with the black areas, must be like the bermuda triangle, very interesting how these areas of the sea are unexplored
