Thats the calculator I looked for! Thanks!

Excellent reply, thanks! Now everything is clear. I will write Lighthouse Directory for correction! 

We need the help of local lighthouse experts, flourite !
I believe in Lighthouse Directory something is wrong! The Outer southern breakwater has dismounted and only a small green light is left, see Gallery!
North Outer Breakwater is red ,Taiwan 444! Inner Breakwaters see pictures, Taiwan 452+455! Do you agree? The breakwater entry was fenced, no entry!
Thank you!

For instance: Taiwan, Sandiajiao Lighthouse: P4694 - Coordinates 25 00.46  122 00.11 ! If I put in Google Maps in this way, it works!
But how to convert in GPS coordinates I find in Google Maps, 25.007890  122.001812 ! This typ of coordinates I find in my search for special points in Google Maps!
I hope, everyone can understand! Thanks!

After my last lighthouse trip to Taiwan I have known flourite by this list! Thats a pity, better has been before to make some suggestions. Trying to do that better for the next trips in 2017 ! Has anyone experience with lighthouse trips in Western Turkey or Southern Sweden ?

Hi Mitko,
                preparing a first article for the blog, theme Specifity of Taiwanese lighthouses! Shall I send you the article and pictures? Thanks, A.

So many lights in Taiwan, crazy. Its hard to identify them! The lights mentioned above must be close to the Fishing Port of Danshui! I have been there, but I cant identify the lights. One of the communication towers? Flourite has experience! Can you seen them at the pictures?

Yes, so many lights, it was a pleasure! I try now to identify the lights by USCG by myself! But maybe I need your help sometimes! 

I will participate ! But sometimes I feel, nobody is intersted in ? Lets try!

I have made in september a great trip to the lighthouses of Great Lakes for 17 days.. Starting NY, along the Hudson river to Plattsburgh, going west to St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario! Next Lake Erie , via Buffalo and Cleveland to Detroit and Lake Huron.Reaching eastern shores of Lake Michigan in Holland, going north to Sault Sainte Marie. Lake Superior in Marquette and last a southern route to Chicago along the western shore of Lake Michigan, about 5500 km. Where in the world is a higher density of lighthouses? I believe, nowhere!

What a quick answer, thanks Mitko ! I will try to mark Minor Lights, but I am not sure, to do that always!

Recently I have done a great lighthouse trip along the Five Great Lakes! I have made many pictures from lighthouses and smaller lights. How to find the description (Admiralty) for smalles lights?? By maps, by lists? The picture shows a light made from Blackwell Island New York! Admiralty....? I wasn't successful at Admiralty website!

Thanks Mitko for this helpful informations!

If you watch the current gallery you find so different classification letters, A,C,D,E ... Admiralty is C, common is also ARLHS ! Can anyone explain?  Thanks !

Hi Neil,hi Mitko,
                       I didn' t really progress with my own webside about " Historical Lighthouses ", though Mitko gave me some help. But I have a plenty of time to include pictures and stories in Mitkos Webside! Have a great sunday, Andreas
