You know the feeling. Crapple Maps finds the nearest public restroom before it becomes a problem. A community-built map of nearly 100,000 restrooms — with the details that actually matter when you're in a hurry. FIND ONE NOW • Nearest restrooms sorted by distance, with walking directions one tap away • See at a glance whether it's public, customers-only, needs a door code, or requires a purchase • Colored symbols for wheelchair access, gender-neutral, and changing tables • Filter for exactly what you need, then search any address or city to plan ahead THE DETAILS THAT SAVE YOU • Door codes shared by people who've been there • "How to find it" directions for the restroom hidden behind the unmarked door • Ratings and reviews from the community ADD TO THE MAP Found one that isn't listed? Add it in seconds and help the next person. Fix wrong info, share a door code, or drop a note about the tricky entrance. KEEP A LOG (IF YOU WANT) Track your visits privately, or share them with friends you follow. Rate the experience, add a photo, log the Bristol scale if that's your thing. Every log is private by default — you choose what to share. Crapple Maps is free, works in light and dark mode, and never sells your data.
