How It Helps
When bathroom access matters, nearest is not always best.
IBD travel often means balancing distance, restroom quality, opening hours, source confidence, and route gaps. RestMap puts those signals next to each place so you can choose faster with more context.
RestRoom IQ context
When a flare gives you little warning, the nearest pin is not always the right call. RestRoom IQ scores let you weigh a slightly farther stop that is more likely to be open, private, and usable.
Source labels
Every signal carries where it came from and how strong it is, and says Needs More Data when it is thin - so you can tell a confirmed restroom from an assumed one before you commit to the detour.
Planned restroom stops
Set how often you want a stop and Journey IQ builds the drive around that spacing, so the next option is already chosen before you need it.
Saved reliable stops
Save the places that worked. Infusion days, follow-up appointments and the same commute stop being a fresh gamble each time.
Private by default
No account required. RestMap does not store your precise location on its servers. RestRoom IQ scoring runs on device.
Source Context
Urgent restroom search needs honest data boundaries.
RestMap separates stronger source data from weaker clues. A place can have a good RestRoom IQ score, a public restroom tag, or user-submitted rating without having complete details about hours, access, or the exact room setup.
Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, Refuge Restrooms, Open Charge Map, MapKit/Apple Places, RestMap brand profiles, and user-submitted ratings. Previously loaded locations and ratings can remain available without signal.

Planning Aid
Use RestMap for restroom context, not medical advice.
RestMap can help you choose between nearby bathroom options, plan route stops, and save places that worked for you. It does not replace your care plan, medication plan, urgent care plan, or guidance from a gastroenterologist or healthcare professional.

ExploreCommon Questions
IBD and Crohn's restroom questions, answered plainly.
How does RestMap help with IBD travel?
RestMap helps compare nearby restroom options using RestRoom IQ scores, source labels, route context, and saved places. It is designed to reduce guesswork before you stop.
Can I find urgent bathroom options near me?
Yes. Quick Find helps compare nearby restroom options when distance and time matter, while RestRoom IQ gives more context than distance alone.

No. RestMap is a restroom locator and planning app. For questions about Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBD symptoms, medication, or travel preparation, consult your gastroenterologist or healthcare provider.
Is RestMap free?
