The National Public Toilet Map

The National Public Toilet Map just seems to be one of those off the wall ideas, lets build a website that helps people find public toilets. Most people would of thought it was a crazy idea, but somebody had the gumption to stick to their guns and this website was created. There are a number of people that would really find this website useful and it is good for raising awareness of the National Continence Management Strategy. I was just surprised I did not know how many and the location of public toilet near my office.

So is it Web 2.0 , well it has a the trip planner and you can create your My Toilet Map. It makes good use of maps. Though I find Where Is a little clunky compared to Google Maps in my opinion, but it does the job.

Add user ratings and comments and you would have a fully fledged Web2.0 app. Still this was a surprising find, I never expect to find such a well developed web app from a government site on a low key but important
