Maritime Safety Information
National Geospatial - Intelligence Agency

The National Imagery and Mapping Agency has extensive navigation information online including navigation calculators, the International Code of Signals, and the Light Lists (corrected). To download just the section of the corrected "Light List" that you need, follow the instructions below.

Enter information in the "Database Query" block to see the data of particular interest. Most likely for most knowledgeable people that would be a range of LL numbers, but you can also use a "minimum bounding rectangle". If you want the whole list, you simply enter "0" for the starting number and "99999" for the ending number; then do something else until all downloads then click on the section(s) you want and you've got the Light List for that section updated through the LNM shown at top right. For any cruise? Just download and print out the portion of the Light List that covers your route. Current, accurate and easy.
