Nah, it's just that 99% of people aren't so chronically online as to need a web service to find out how to freely drink water in a place with free water drinking infrastructure.
- gpvos 3y agoWell, maybe because I wasn't born there, but they're not always in the most obvious locations to me.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoThe extremely detailed mapping of drinking water on OSM that the OP alludes to, is more helpful than you assume. If you are cycling or hiking in baking-hot Southern Europe, or wandering through some picturesque villages, there are often springs hidden just off the trail that most people would never spot, if the map didn’t alert people to their presence. Also, with OSM one doesn’t need to be “chronically online” and use a “web service”, because various apps allow using OSM fully offline.
- RajT88 3y agoAgree with this. When I was cycling a lot, my summer workouts were planned around functional drinking fountains. This is in the US even. Working drinking fountains are not as ubiquitous as you might think in a lot of areas.
