A map of every lighthouse

    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 <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lhg.is&#x2F;media&#x2F;sjomaelingar_islands&#x2F;Vitaskra_311018_vefutg.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lhg.is&#x2F;media&#x2F;sjomaelingar_islands&#x2F;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.
