Developer’s Description

Photos, maps, history, and directions for all US lighthouses.

With significant coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes, the United States has hundreds of lighthouses that have faithfully served mariners through the years. Using photographs, information, and insights gathered while visiting the countrys 800+ lighthouses, Kraig Anderson has developed LighthouseFriends.com to help others learn about lighthouses and plan their own visits to these historic structures. This app is tailored to present this content on your mobile device with the following useful features:Have historical information read out loud while you drive to a lighthouseView maps showing the location of lighthouses in each stateTransfer GPS coordinates to a navigation app to help you reach a lighthouseRecord the date of your visit to each lighthouse along with any personal notesTrack the number of lighthouses youve visited by stateFilter the lighthouses to show only those that interest youIntuitive icons are shown for each lighthouse to quickly help you determine if, among other things, a lighthouse is easily accessible, open for climbing, offers overnight accommodations, has appeared in a movie, and if it is reportedly haunted. A picture and the history of each lighthouse are available without a data connection, but a data connection is needed to view maps and the full gallery of images.A few lighthouses not built by the federal government, like those on Grand Lake St. Marys in Ohio, are included in the app, but they are not the focus of the app and should be viewed as bonuses. Coverage of lighthouses in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, is also included.Additional historical information for lighthouses in Michigan will be provided in future updates.Content rating: Everyone
