Here are the lighthouses of Europe.

The map is even better than it might seem at first glance: the colors are the real colors, the patterns are the real patterns, and the size of the dots is the distance at which each light is visible.

Made with @openstreetmap, Leaflet, and the Overpass API.

@Lambo @openstreetmap How does it work? 🤔 I don't see anything but a black map. Am I missing something?

Maybe try with another Browser? It should blink as soon as you enter the linked website.

@Lambo Ah, I see. Firefox is blocking some script(s).

The lighthouses of Vladivostok are missing entirely, even the Tokarevskiy and Basargin. :) And at least three of them on another side of the Amur bay and Peter the Great bay (Busse, Gamov, Nazimov).

Still, this is awesome! I love it. :)
