Finding a toilet, a tap or a shower in New York City
General map apps are built around businesses and directions, so the free and public things — a toilet in a park, a drinking fountain on a square, a shower at a beach — are the ones they cover least well. That is the gap this map fills. In New York City it currently holds 439 public toilets and 1,033 places to refill a bottle, each with whatever the source records about cost, opening hours and access. It works the same way in every city you travel to next.
