Public toilet labels are not enough
A generic public toilet marker may not tell you whether the facility has seated stalls, whether it is easy to access, or whether it is a good tourist backup.
A China public toilet app built for foreign travelers
Public toilet data is useful, but travelers usually need a more specific answer: where is the nearest likely seated toilet? Western Toilet Map keeps the search focused on that question.

Why a China-specific public toilet app helps
Indoor venues can be better than street toilets

Navigation needs local options
Foreign travelers may switch between Apple Maps, Google Maps, and AMap depending on what works best on their device in China.
What Western Toilet Map optimizes for
Fast nearby discovery when the traveler is already outside.
Seated-toilet likelihood instead of generic restroom volume.
