Hi,

I was reading @micahcochran's proposal over at Open Street Map (link, discussion) ...

and this restroom database for all of Australia was mentioned: https://toiletmap.gov.au/ Edit to mention: There are roughly 10,000 restrooms in this database! Very extensive.

Maybe there are other bathroom databases out there we could link to as well.

Very good idea.

There is also the "Great British Toilet Map". However, I think it might need a little bit of a push to make work for TIG populations. I don't think their database is quite as extensive. It does include unisex facilities. https://greatbritishpublictoiletmap.rca.ac.uk/

It looks like the main thing Great British Toilet Map would have to change is filtering for "unisex" toilets. I say that because, as you point out, they do already have the unisex facilities in their data. Does that sound right to you @micahcochran?

I am going to reach out to them if everyone doesn't mind, to see if they can add what we would want for our users (and for the benefit of their users as well!)

micahcochran commented 7 years ago

@DeeDeeG Yes, I agree. Thank you for volunteering to reach out to them.

I'm all for this. I'm wondering if there's also a way (accidentally just wrote "gay" 😅) to integrate this directly with our search process (depending on the time it takes to query), that way we can also get ratings and comments from our users to vet it for more than just being unisex.
