PublicUtilFinder is a free, privacy-first web application that helps you find public toilets, drinking water fountains, and EV charging stations worldwide. It combines crowdsourced real-time status updates with open data from OpenStreetMap and Open Charge Map to show you what's actually working right now.
Unlike static databases, our community reports facility status in real-time. Know if a restroom is working, a water fountain is operational, or an EV charger is available before you arrive.
We aggregate data from OpenStreetMap, Open Charge Map, and community submissions to provide comprehensive global coverage of public infrastructure.
Report facility status anonymously with device-based tracking. No account required for basic features, and we never sell your data.
Installable as a Progressive Web App with offline caching. Access previously viewed locations even without an internet connection.
Find accessible public toilets with real-time status updates, accessibility features (wheelchair access, baby changing), and cleanliness ratings from the community. Filter by free vs paid facilities.
Locate public drinking water sources, including fountains, taps, and bottle refill stations. Help reduce plastic waste by finding free water instead of buying bottles.
Discover electric vehicle charging points with connector types (Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO), power ratings, availability status, and payment methods.
PublicUtilFinder aggregates data from OpenStreetMap, Open Charge Map, and real-time crowdsourced reports to show public toilets, water fountains, and EV chargers on an interactive map.
