WC kompas vs ChicagoCurb

The online map of public toilets WC kompas allows users to find the nearest available toilets based on their geographical location. You can add new toilets and rate those already on the map. Who do they serve? The app helps all those who need to go to the toilet and don't know where. People with disabilities, mothers with children, seniors and ordinary people walking around the city. IBD Patients The creation of the online map was inspired by the practical experience of patients with idiopathic bowel disorders. This is because even in large cities, basic human needs cannot be addressed quickly and with dignity. Most people only become aware of the poor quality and inadequate number of clean toilets when they urgently need them. For more information about IBD Patients and their activities, please visit www.crohn.cz. Mapotic The toilet compass app works within the MAPOTIC mapping platform www.mapotic.com. Mapotic is a mapping ecosystem and tool for individuals, communities, nonprofits and businesses to easily create their own maps. The company behind Mapotic is COEX Ltd. www.coex.cz.

ChicagoCurb is an independent project. It is not affiliated with the City of Chicago, any ward office, or any paid-parking operator. Chicago posts its parking rules one sign at a time, and you usually read them in the dark with the engine running. ChicagoCurb puts them on one map. Tap a block and see whether it is residential permit parking, whether it is metered, and when there is street sweeping. WHAT IT SHOWS • Residential permit zones — the zone number and the address range for each side of the street, so you can tell which curb your sticker actually covers. • Metered blocks — where paid parking applies. • Street sweeping — the schedule for every ward and section, listing only the dates still to come this season. REMINDERS THE EVENING BEFORE Turn on a reminder for a sweeping zone and your phone alerts you at 7 pm the night before, while there is still time to move the car. Reminders are scheduled on the device from data the app already carries: no account, no sign-in, and nothing about you sent anywhere. One tap in the list turns a zone back off. SEARCH THAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Type an address or a permit zone number and jump to the block. The address index ships inside the app, so what you type is matched locally and never leaves the device. WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL The parking data and the search index are bundled in the app, so the rules, the popups and search still work in a parking garage or a dead spot. Only the background map, with its street names, needs a connection. WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM The City of Chicago's open data portal — permit segments, street centerlines and street-sweeping schedules — normalized and aligned to the street, block by block. WHAT IT IS NOT This is not a legal source and it is not a substitute for the sign at the curb. Coverage and accuracy are best-effort, and posted signs always win. If a citation is issued, the authority is the City of Chicago, not this app. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING There is no login, no usage analytics and no advertising. Your location is used only to move the map, only when you tap the locate button, and it never leaves your phone. If the app saves you a ticket, there is an optional tip inside. It is not required and it unlocks nothing — everything in ChicagoCurb is free. The same map is free on the web at chicagocurb.com.
