Not saying it’s a bad idea but it’s not original. A certain George Costanza built it first.
Yes but his iToilet app shut down after he lost all his money with Bernie Madoff.
Madoff!

#22This reminds me of an old project of mine on similar theme. Years ago, as a frustrated young parent, I created a similar project which helped me find toilets near me. I used OSM's Overpass Turbo API and it was an interesting experience. https://github.com/samkhawase/LooLocator
What I’d like to see is data on if there’s a changing table and if it’s in the women’s restroom only.
Surprisingly large number of places have them, but too large a fraction have nothing in the men’s room.

#23This data should be contributed to openstreetmap and not just added to a possibly short-lived public website. OSM has been outstandingly good for finding public toilets almost wherever I went.
And there's already an app that shows toilets based on OSM, it's called LavSeeker.

what search engine/service do I need to use to find public toilets on OSM? I tested it with public toilets but was only able to find one 'dog toilet' within city limits...
LavSeeker app. It's on F-Droid. Not sure if it's on the play store too.

It is a lot more common (here in the UK) than it used to be to have them separate from toilets or otherwise accessible to men.
I remember the first time (before I had kids) I saw one in a men's toilet, and I was very impressed with how progressive it was. It was in the cafe toilets at St-Martin-in-the-fields church in London (the one on Trafalgar square). It has taken a long time, but we have come a long way since then (but much further to go, in terms of catering to, and valuing fatherhood).

#27Public toilets: another thing Europe's got going for them.
These are basically impossible to find in the US, especially in big cities.

#28I really need this for Canada and the US where finding a public toilet is close to a miracle. Of course, a few people walk in NA, especially in the suburbs, but this is one of many "against walking" pokes. Even a map of covered bushes would be great. Wall into suburbs and you won't find anything for miles.

Any bar or hotel has a public bathroom. Most restaurants as well.

They probably won't be happy if you just use the bathroom and don't order anything. Here some fastfood places near busy subway stations have a combination lock on the door to prevent random people from using the bathroom (the code is in the receipt).
