Can I find drinking water without stopping to type?

Yes. The home-screen widget and the app shortcut both open straight into compass mode for the nearest drinking water, so it is one tap from your lock screen to a needle pointing at the closest tap.

Are the fountains actually running?

Each place carries a status badge showing how recently a person confirmed it. Seasonal fountains show their season where it is known. If you find one dry, tap Report a problem and the next runner sees it.

Does it work if I leave my phone in flight mode?

Water on your run, at home or in a new city

Public fountains and taps, mapped, so a long run does not have to end at a shop counter.

The Fontavio map with the drinking water filter on, showing water points across a city.

Running the same routes at home, you learn where the water is. Run somewhere new and that knowledge is gone: you are carrying a bottle you cannot fill, on a route you do not know, in a city where the fountains might be seasonal, hidden in a park, or simply not there.

Fontavio maps public drinking water across Europe, US and Canada. Open it, see what is near you, and tap Closest to be pointed at the nearest one with a compass needle and a distance. No account, no signup, nothing to read first.

Fountains in much of Europe are switched off in winter and back on in spring. Where a place has known seasonal dates or opening hours, the app shows them, so a fountain that is closed until April says so instead of sending you across town.

The things that matter

Closest, with a compass

Pick what you need and get pointed at the nearest one: a needle, a distance and a walking estimate. A home-screen widget and app shortcut open straight into it, so it is one tap from a locked phone.

Open now

Opening hours and seasonal dates are shown where they are known, checked live against your phone’s clock. A fountain that is off during winter says so.
