Step-free access and changing tables
Only 0 per cent of entries in South Africa are recorded as step-free. That does not necessarily mean there are none — often the detail is simply missing. No changing tables are recorded in South Africa yet. If you find one, you can add it in the app — that helps everyone who comes after you.
Where these numbers come from
Most entries for South Africa come from OpenStreetMap, the open map volunteers have been building since 2004. On top of that sit places users added in the app themselves, with ratings and photos. The two sources are kept apart so a mistake in one never overwrites the other. An entry reported as gone is hidden rather than deleted — so it can come back if the toilet reopens.
