How we count
The places come from OpenStreetMap, the free world map (© OpenStreetMap contributors), added to and checked by users of Outdoor Pitstop.
We only count places we can link to a county. The same count is used on every page of the website. A public toilet counts as free when it is known that you do not have to pay; for the others we do not know (yet).
The numbers are counted again every night. Places that are gone are hidden as soon as users report it.
