A map of every lighthouse(mapped.earth)

This map has very annoying and weird spelling errors, to the point where I suspect this is just AI generated.

Zooming in to the lights I am intimately familiar with in Suðurnes Iceland (includes the objectively best lighthouse in the World Reykjanesviti) I see “Garðskagaviti” correctly spelled, but the main lighthouse is spelled “Gardjskagi” that letter ð is also misspelled as dh in nearby Sandgerdhi.

The source for these lights are here https://www.lhg.is/media/sjomaelingar_islands/Vitaskra_31101... and I honestly don‘t know why whichever AI was used to generate this didn’t just copy paste the names from the registry.

It also annoyingly includes old and spare lights, towers, etc. and doesn’t label them as such.

I suppose it all helps us keep track of what AIs are currently capable of when used by people who aren't putting in much effort.

I love lighthouses, though I've never seen one for real.

They're like an anti-oasis: Signaling a welcome patch of land in an endless ocean :)

The Lighthouse is also one of the best movies ever period.

There should be some indie games based on lighthouses!

It jumped around when I tried to use it on a mobile phone. I was surprised how few Greenland has.

I'm fairly sure that there are more in outlying islands of New Zealand. The Chatham Islands seem well marked but there are none marked on Stewart Island or the Snares.

> but there are none marked on Stewart Island or the Snares.

The only two lights (they're not 'houses') on Stewart Island are actually on this map.

The Snares don't have any.

I'm surprised about the Snares. They are near enough to South Island that I could see them being a shipping hazard.
