  3. Use that layer to look for toilets near your location. Treat the result as a location lead; whether the facility is accessible now remains unconfirmed.

What are the limits and unknowns?

  • The city's lookup guide was last modified on July 15, 2025. Reopening it does not establish the freshness of each map entry.
  • The interactive toilet layer and device-location permission flow were not tested. A map pin does not confirm opening hours or access conditions.
  • This guide covers the municipal public-toilet lookup route, without naming individual facilities or private premises.

What does the evidence cover?

The city publishes a map route for finding public toilets. The map's public interface was opened, but a live location search and individual facilities were not tested.
