Methodology

ToiletNearest is a reader for public geographic data. We do not claim to visit every facility. What you see is the best available open record for each coordinate - merged from multiple sources and filtered for usefulness.

OpenStreetMap

Primary features come from OpenStreetMap (ODbL). Tags such as fee, wheelchair, and opening_hours are community-maintained. Bad data should be corrected in OSM so every downstream tool benefits.

Government open data

Where municipalities publish toilet registers (for example parts of the UK and Australia), we merge those points after normalising coordinates and deduplicating against OSM nodes.

Indexed toilet pages

Individual facility pages may be indexed by search engines only when an OSM record includes a usable address, coordinates, and several verified amenity tags - reducing thin URLs.
