Hi All,

I was searching for some "stuff" and found this website http://www.toiletmap.gov.au it is a government website that shows public toilets. You can even become a member and use the site to plan your trip. I thought it was funny (& useful) but is just my toilet humor.

Yes, it has been around for some years now and highlighted from time to time on this forum.

Yep,

All 14266 of them!

Thought it was a Sh$%house idea, but you never know when you might need one?

Have you really downloaded them all? If so, would you mind explaining how?

It seems to me you can only download one Council area at a time, and even that does not seem to work on my system

They are here,

They are in Tom Tom Format but with the right conversion software you can convert em for pretty well any brand of GPS?Navigator.

Wow Thanks Rossi, we are currently traveling oz with our 2 daughters so this will be VERY useful. It has dump points as well. We do have a loo in the van but try to use public toilets when possible.


Cheers

Trouble is Caz that when kidling needs to go, there isn't time to get out the laptop, log on and see if one if near. I have looked at it (when at home) and noticed in areas i know there are more that aren't listed. Useful all the same.Dump point listings are a good idea; i hadn't noticed them on it.

PS I love Notso's comment!

Daddy I want to go to the toilet RIGHT NOW! Both feet on brake looking for suitable cover, doors open and mum to supervise.

I had forgotten that.

You can download them as a PeeOI file from the website listed above and load them into your GPS. We have them installed and they seem to be fairly accurate.
