RestMap 3.10 - What's new RestMap 3.10 makes Quick Find clearer, recognizes the people who help, and rewards every rating. Quick Find now shows a map of your pick, its RestRoom IQ grade and the restroom facts that matter before you go. See the last 30 days on Contributors, turn on thank-you updates, and share door codes with the date they were added. Rate a place in one screen. Every state or country you've rated earns its Passport stamp, including ratings made before this update. Your trip can finish when you park near your destination; a remaining walk keeps it open. Your Journey brings your progress together: explore Community Atlas and revisit completed months in Your Month in Review. Navigation is steadier at the first turn, when you rotate your phone and when you reroute. CarPlay offers contextual stop choices while you are on a trip. Search in a chosen area, with clearer messages when you need to retry. Place Reports lead with their answer, and Trip Reports repeat less information. Saved reports tell you when you're reading the offline copy on your device. Personalize your portrait with illustrated keepsakes and backdrops, plus a Royal outfit when unlocked.

RestMap 3.9 - Plan the visit, drive with confidence PLACE REPORTS Planning a day out or a stay somewhere new? Pick a destination or a whole town and get a personal visit guide: what's worth doing, how it fits your group, arrival, hours and tickets, getting around, food for your diet, step-free and stroller access, your restroom needs, events for your dates, and alternatives if it doesn't fit. Sourced facts show their sources, and anything uncertain is listed for you to confirm. Saved reports stay in your library. (Premium) SMOOTHER NAVIGATION AND CARPLAY The CarPlay map moves smoothly with your car, and complex junctions show a simple sketch on your phone and in the car. Stop lists name what could rule a stop out, such as "Customers only" or "Past security". When the route ends away from the door, RestMap remembers where you parked and keeps guiding you on foot. Skipped a stop by mistake? Undo puts it back. QUICK FIND, REBUILT One clear recommendation with one button to go there, routed travel times for walking or driving, your essential needs respected, and opening hours checked for when you'll arrive. Other options are one tap away. INSPECTOR AND READY ALERTS When Inspector can't finish a check, it shows what it did find. Ask RestMap to tell you when a Place Report, Trip Report or Inspector check is ready; the alert opens it. Alerts stay off until you turn them on. TRIPS Paste an Apple Maps or Google Maps link to add a stop at the right point on your route. Saved reports are easy to find from You and Trips. YOU AND WORLD TOUR Choose a redrawn avatar and earn new styles as you help improve restroom information. World Tour opens on each day's destination art. QUIETER NOTIFICATIONS Automatic notifications are limited, a type you stop opening pauses itself, and generic "come back" reminders are gone.

RestMap 3.8.1 - Clearer place details WHAT MATTERS HERE See access, hours and facilities in one clear list. RestMap shows the source, date, conflicts and what is still unknown. ASK INSPECTOR Open a facility for a focused answer, or ask another question. Saved findings remain available offline, and a no-findings result explains what you can do next. RESTROOM IQ, EXPLAINED See the grade, estimated stars, confidence and why the estimate was made, without mixing in unrelated facility facts. RATE OR CORRECT Rate a restroom and update facility details in a few taps. You can change or remove your saved answer later. MORE WAYS TO USE INSPECTOR Earn credits by helping improve place information, or choose Monthly Premium alongside Annual and Lifetime. Finding and comparing restrooms stays free. CARPLAY POLISH ETA stays visible when maneuver names are long, and resuming a paused trip clears the re-planning message once the route is ready.

RestMap 3.7.1 - Listings in the facility cards THE LISTINGS BEHIND A PLACE Every facility tile now reads the listings behind a place, with their sources: Refuge Restrooms, OpenStreetMap, city directories and your own reports show beside Inspector's findings, agreeing or differing. A Refuge listing counts only when its box was checked, so an unchecked box no longer reads as "not available". MORE OF YOUR REPORTS ANSWER THE BOARD The door-code and extra-space reports you enter now answer their tiles, and a family restroom listed on OpenStreetMap shows on the room-for-a-helper tile. Get ready before you go with RestMap Premium: Trip Reports, Inspector and Offline Trip Packs. Your first Trip Report is free.

RestMap 3.7 - Facilities at a glance SEE WHAT A PLACE HAS, AT A GLANCE Every restroom facility is a tile on the place page: changing tables, wheelchair access, all-gender rooms, entry conditions, pet stays and more, each with a one-word answer. Tap a tile for the details, the source and its date, and what to do next: look it up, find one nearby, or report from your visit. Your saved needs and travel profile lead the board. CITY LISTINGS ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS Public restrooms listed by city and park departments, and highway rest areas, now answer hours, access and closure questions on the place page and in Inspector, credited to the publisher with the listing date. Quick Find, Find Best and the trip planner skip listed closures. Coverage is growing and is not everywhere yet. TRIPS AND ARRIVALS Add your own stop without losing the suggested ones, plan to an arrival time, and see an arrival estimate that counts only the stops you accepted, everywhere it appears. Finishing a trip is one card. RATE IN YOUR OWN TIME Pick a rating and submit when you are ready, and change your mind within the hour. Waddles says thanks. Your facility reports now show in Community activity. ON THE ROAD Choose a map puck style. On CarPlay, see a route overview with every stop and your next break, entry information on stop panels, typed address search, and Quick Find that proposes a match before routing. Get ready before you go with RestMap Premium: Trip Reports, Inspector and Offline Trip Packs. Your first Trip Report is free.

RestMap 3.6 - Smoother journeys NAVIGATION THAT STAYS WITH YOU Steadier route-following on iPhone and CarPlay, clearer maneuver arrows, and a route line that shows the road ahead. Browse the map, return to your route, and use Home or RestMap voice shortcuts to get going. KEEP YOUR STOPS IN THE PLAN Compare useful stops, add or skip a break, and continue toward your destination. Prepared trips keep their route choices and stop decisions through supported restarts and overnight breaks. Offline Trip Packs retain saved guidance when coverage drops; live rerouting still needs a connection. ARRIVE WITH A CLEARER ESTIMATE Plan around an arrival time with breaks included. Share a live ETA link with someone waiting, even if they do not have RestMap. You choose when to share and when to stop; links expire automatically. FIND PLACES THAT FIT YOUR NEEDS Save family, accessibility, caregiver and pet needs. Compare available details across stops and ask Inspector specific questions, with sources and unknowns shown clearly. Get ready before you go with RestMap Premium: Trip Reports, Inspector and Offline Trip Packs. Your first Trip Report is free.

RestMap 3.5 - In the Car RestMap comes to CarPlay. Follow turn-by-turn directions on your car's display and compare restroom stops along your route, with Restroom IQ grades where available. Find Best and Scout Ahead ride along. Parked or in town, Find Best compares nearby restrooms. On the highway, Scout Ahead shows the stops coming up on your road so you can choose one for your trip. Choose your destination. Review the planned breaks, skip or restore a stop, and Go. Saved trips keep their itinerary and refresh the route when you start. The Dashboard and instrument cluster show your route where your car supports them, with Quick Find and Where to? one tap away. Inspector adds amenity details from Google reviews and more official municipal sources, with dates and sources shown. Get ready before you go with RestMap Premium: Trip Reports and Offline Trip Packs for the drive ahead. Your first Trip Report is free.

RestMap 3.4 - Effortless Inspector now tells you whether a stop is a good option, leads with what to know before you go, and shows the evidence behind each finding. Premium members get the full pass in one tap. Place details put the essentials first. Amenities, sources, and community notes are one tap away, and nothing was removed. A calmer first minute. Onboarding asks who's traveling - solo, with kids, with a pet, needing quick access, safe spaces, or step-free access - and RestMap tunes its picks from the first search. Smoother and steadier everywhere: faster launch, navigation that stays fluid through turns and reroutes, and honest offline states. When signal drops mid-trip, Find Best, Inspector, invites, and navigation say so instead of spinning. One Get directions button on every screen, clearer trip days across time zones, and dozens of small refinements.

RestMap 3.3 - make the trip yours Pet-Aware Trips starts with an explicit choice. Turn on Traveling with pets for more regular relief breaks while preserving any tighter cadence you selected. Stops show pet-area context only when a checked source supports it. Unknown evidence stays unknown. Your Trip Plan now puts Add a stop near the top. Choose an exact place, review the detour, and RestMap replans the full route around it. Add several stops, remove one if plans change, and choose Fewer, Balanced, or Frequent breaks without dropping required meal, restroom, charging, fuel, accessibility, medical, or overnight needs. Multi-day plans keep meals, practical breaks, and lodging easier to understand. Hotel searches carry the intended property or locality and the correct local stay dates. When RestMap has only a route anchor, it says lodging still needs to be chosen instead of presenting a placeholder as a confirmed hotel. Trip Reports and offline Trip Packs stay honest after itinerary changes. Earlier versions remain viewable, but RestMap marks them as based on an earlier plan until you choose to refresh them. Inspector can surface a separate Pet fit finding with its checked date and source context. With context you explicitly review, a Trip Report can add a trip-wide Pet plan with exact evidence gaps, practical fallback guidance, and packing reminders. Neither feature infers a pet, promises admission, or runs automatically because pet mode is on. We also improved route previews, waypoint restoration, and the consistency of planned times across days and time zones.

RestMap 3.2 - road trips that remember where you are going Trip Reports are now part of the plan, not a dead end. Add an interesting detour from a report, replace a stop, see exactly what changed, and refresh the report from the current route. Suggestions are rechecked against the live route so completed legs and stale detours stay out of the way. Multi-day trips are more resilient. Your selected daily driving limit shapes day boundaries, added stops survive rerouting, skipped stops stay skipped, and a paused trip can continue after a night away or a cold launch. Saved plans reopen with their stops ready, and arrival clocks stay coherent across time zones. Planned stops can show useful arrival context, including closing risk and typical crowding when reliable evidence supports it. The You tab can also surface a recent thanks receipt when another traveler finds your update helpful. Inspector better reconciles researched hours with the place's open or closed status. We also hardened the road-trip games and polished larger-text layouts across Trip Reports and Place Detail.

RestMap 3.1 - steadier navigation and clearer restroom decisions Navigation is smoother and more coherent through turns, reroutes, and rotation. Portrait and landscape layouts keep maneuvers, trip details, Scout Ahead, controls, and the visible route corridor in the right places. Place Detail is easier to scan. RestRoom IQ, the Restroom brief, and Dashboard now hold together better with larger text, higher contrast, and both landscape orientations. Planned stops now survive rerouting more reliably, while Scout keeps looking ahead along the updated route. Maneuvers, stop names, Live Activities, and the in-navigation stop surface are clearer on compact screens and with long street names. Premium trip-planning filters are now available where you plan a trip. Inspector better understands a restroom inside a park or other larger place and reports more clearly when public-source research cannot be reconciled. We also improved walking-trip battery behavior, route-preview backoff, and thermal protection for long drives.
