Can I look up a city before I get there?

Yes. Search any city or address and the map jumps there, so you can see what is there before you arrive.

Is there anything for public showers specifically?

Showers are one of the core categories, including beach and campground showers, some of which are free and some paid. Filter to showers and the map shows only those.

Does it work on a phone with no data abroad?

The map serves from cache for a few hours anywhere you have already opened, so a short connection loss is usually not a problem. Fontavio Pro downloads an area you draw on the map, base map and places together, so that area works with no signal at all.

Where can I find showers on the map?

Public showers include swimming halls, campsites, beaches and some stations, where they have been mapped. Price is shown per place where it is known.

Is laundry really on there too?

Yes, as its own category: self-service launderettes, campsite and hostel machines, and marina laundries where somebody has added them. You can add one that is missing.

Water, showers and laundry for backpackers and nomads

Find drinking water, showers, laundry and toilets on one map, wherever you are travelling.

The category filter, with showers selected and laundry, dump stations and pump-outs alongside it.

Fontavio helps with the everyday logistics of a long trip: refilling a bottle, finding a shower, doing laundry, finding a toilet.

Fontavio puts all four on one map, across Europe, US and Canada. Search a city you are heading to and see what is there before you arrive.

Filling up instead of buying bottled water saves real money over months, and Europe has far more public drinking water than most visitors realise, especially in Italy, Switzerland and the Nordics.
