Outdoor PitstopAbout Outdoor Pitstop
Outdoor Pitstop helps walkers, cyclists and runners find a bench, water fountain, toilet or bike pump on the go.
Why we make this
Walking, cycling or running outdoors is great, until you need something on the way. A moment to sit, a refill for your bottle, a quick toilet stop or air for a soft tyre. Those places are often there, but you can’t see them. And what you find about them is scattered across all kinds of maps and lists, or out of date.
That is why we make Outdoor Pitstop. We want everyone who loves being outside, from runners to families with young children or tourists in an unfamiliar city, to see the nearest pitstop within seconds. No hassle and no ads. Outdoor Pitstop is a project by Robin, from the Netherlands.
A map only stays good if someone keeps it up to date. We do that together: anyone who visits a place can add a photo or review and confirm that it is still there. That way the map gets a little better every day, for the next person who needs a break.
Where the spots come from
The basis comes from OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world (© OpenStreetMap contributors).
Walkers, cyclists and runners keep the spots in the app up to date: they add photos and reviews, fill in the type and confirm on the spot that a place is still there.
Kept up to date together
In the app you confirm on the spot with one tap whether a place is still there:
