Refills for cyclists and bikepackers
Find drinking water taps and fountains along your route, and see what other users have said about them.
- Drinking water
- Fill-up taps
- Toilets
- Showers
Whether riding for an afternoon or for weeks, it helps to know where the next refill is. Fontavio shows it, near you or anywhere you look on the map.
Fontavio maps public drinking water and fill-up points across Europe, US and Canada, so a day can be planned around real refill points. Besides drinking fountains, it lists fill-up taps, toilets and showers, and users can add places that are missing.
The Pro route planner lets you select several refill points and open them in navigation as one trip.
Rural stretches are also where mobile coverage disappears, so offline maps run with no signal needed. Route planner opens the route in Google Maps, so downloading offline areas also from Google Maps is recommended if you intend to use route planner offline.
The things that matter
02
PRO
Offline maps
Pick an area on the map and download it. The base map, the places and their details all come with it, opening hours and reviews included, so everything keeps working with no signal at all. Photos are the one thing left out, to keep the download small. Built for valleys, borders and prepaid data.
03
Compass and navigation
You can see what is closest or pick a place on the map, then follow the compass or use navigation. A home-screen widget and app shortcut open straight into the closest one, so it is one tap from a locked phone.
04
Look somewhere up before you go
Search any city or address to see it on the map, so you can plan the route based on water services.
Look up a city before you go
Search any city and the map jumps there. These pages show samples of the available data and statistics for cities.
Cyclists: common questions
- Can I check refills along a route, not only near me?
- Yes. Free users can look at any location on the map. Pro adds selecting several places and opening them together in navigation as one trip.
- Does it include small village taps?
- Many, yes. Coverage follows open map data and what users add, so adding a missing one helps whoever looks there next.
- What about bike-friendly showers at the end of a day?
- Public, campground and beach showers are all on the map, and you can filter for free ones or ones with hot water. Laundry is its own category too.
- Do the drinking water fountains still run in the winter?
- Some are turned off for the winter. Where seasonal dates are recorded, the listing shows them, and every place shows how recently someone confirmed it. You can confirm a fountain in one tap.
- What if I lose mobile signal on the ride?
- The map keeps working for a while from what it has already loaded. After that, find a connection again, or download the area beforehand with the offline maps in Pro.
