Every lighthouse in the world | mapped.earth

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.

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?
