This 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.

- seszett 2y agoMy solution was to use OsmAnd with a custom list of POIs that includes toilets. This way I got a map that shows at a glance where the closest toilets are, as well as playgrounds, picnic tables, castles, ruins, water mills and lavoir/wash-houses (these are the areas that I've found to always be nice places when you have to stop on the way to rest and eat).

- graemep 2y agoIt 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).
