Yes, quite useful, often use them to stay overnight. But sometimes there are areas devoid of municipals.

Could be quite dangerous in bad hot weather in la France profonde, one would have to try talking to people, ask for water. In French

One of the features is POI and one is DRINKING WATER. when selected give a list using your gps locand distance and also plots them on a map with a pointer. It doesnt show them all eg the 2 at KingsX but does one at St Pancras. Cycle Sreets uses OpenstreetMap I think.
Maybe this app is also on Android?

Under £40, small, very lightweight and filters seem to last for ages.
I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my CLT-L09 using hovercraft full of eels.
OSMand, based of course on OSM, has a specific POI label for "drinking water" so you can find water points very easily.Vorpal wrote: ↑22 Jul 2019, 11:55amAs I said, it sometimes takes a little work to find them in search. I don't think that they are consistently categorized by county. Essex turns up nothing, for example, but if I put in a specific town, it usually turns some up.mattheus wrote:Ooo!

It sometimes takes a little work to find it in a search, but it's visible on the map.
Quick test only shows one in Oxfordshire:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?qu ... 98/-1.2237
Putting 'drinking water oxford' for example finds more than 'drinking water oxfordshire'
https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?qu ... 3/-1.26993
'drinking water Essex' gets no results, but 'drinking water East England' turns up results in Essex.
Also, anyone can add stuff to OpenStreetMap. So if you know of public drinking water in your area, you can add it.
