Does it show whether a toilet is free?

Where the information exists, yes. You can filter the map to free places only, but it might miss places where the information is not yet available.

What about toilets inside cafes and shops?

Places marked as customers-only are shown and labelled as such, so you know upfront you are expected to buy something, distinct from a paid public toilet.

How current is the information?

Every place carries a badge for whether a person has confirmed it, or whether that confirmation is old enough to be worth double-checking. Anyone can confirm it still works, or report that it does not, with one tap each.

Finding a toilet, in your own city or somewhere new

Public toilets with the details that decide whether you can actually use one: open now, free or paid, and how to get in.

Compass mode pointing at the nearest toilet, 904 metres away and open 24/7.

Finding a toilet in an unfamiliar place rarely comes down to location. The hard part is everything around it: whether it is open at this hour, whether it wants a coin you do not have, whether it sits inside a building that closed at six.

Fontavio shows public toilets with opening hours where they are known, whether they are free or paid, and the access notes contributors have added. Filter to open now and free, and the map stops showing you the ones that will waste your walk.

It works the same at home and abroad. Most people use it in their own city more than they expect, because the question "where is the nearest one that is open right now" is not easier just because you live there.

The things that matter

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.

Filters that match the situation

Narrow by category, free or paid, open now, saved, and how you travel. All filters are free for everyone.

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.

Confirmed by the people using it

Every place carries a badge for whether a person has confirmed it works. One tap confirms it, one tap reports a problem, and repeatedly wrong edits limit an account.

Look up a city before you go

Search any city and the map jumps there. These pages show samples of the available data and statistics for cities.
