Every charted navigational light on the planet on a night globe you can turn: each one flashing or sweeping at the rhythm printed on the chart. Zoom to a coast, hover a light for its name.

      I guess that’s why it’s “virtually” every lighthouse.

        Not every (single) lighthouse virtually (mapped)?

    Pretty neat. Didn’t realize how many there are. I couldn’t get it to display the individual lighthouse data though.

    I would argue this doesn’t belong in mildlyinteresting only because it’s forking awesome. :D

    Lighthousesnare so damn cool especially because the were literal life-savers for people before GPS.

    Which brings me to my question, how are lighthouses used in modern day alongside GPS?

      GPS equipment can fail. GPS can be jammed. (Raspberries! LONE STARR!!!)
