Donner Summit on I-80
A mountain corridor example where planning restroom timing before a long stretch can matter more than picking the nearest pin.
RestMap Picks
Road-trip restroom stops with context.
RestMap Picks are editorial examples that show how route timing, source labels, and restroom quality context can make a stop easier to choose before you need it.
Picks are not a substitute for live search in the app. Use RestMap nearby or on a planned route for current options around you.

Editorial examples
Route-stop ideas that explain what makes a restroom stop useful.
Source-labeled
Built around the same source context RestMap shows in the app.
Route-aware
Focused on corridor fit, timing, and nearby alternatives.
Waddles-led
RestMap's teal rubber duck mascot keeps the route examples recognizable.
Example route stops
Memorable stops, plain restroom context.
These examples show the kind of trip context RestMap values: what is nearby, how the stop fits the route, and whether there are useful source signals to inspect in the app.
Tejon Pass on I-5
A high-traffic corridor example where restroom timing, meals, and EV charging can all affect whether a stop is worth the detour.
Siskiyou on I-5
A state-line mountain-drive example for thinking ahead when weather, grades, and fewer alternatives can make timing harder.
What RestMap looks for
Good stop planning uses more than distance.
RestMap Picks are a public way to show the signals the app is designed around, without turning every page into a list of nearby pins.
Restroom quality
RestRoom IQ scores, user-submitted ratings, and source labels can help separate useful options from generic listings.
Route fit
A stop that works on one side of a highway may be a poor fit from the opposite direction or during a tight route segment.
Trip context
Food, fuel, charging, family needs, accessibility info, and walking distance can change the better choice.
Clear limits
Picks are editorial highlights. The app remains the source for nearby search and planned-route results.
Connected to the app
From inspiration to the actual stop.
RestMap Picks is the public storytelling layer. The decision tools live in the app, where your location and route can shape the results.
Find Best
Find Best is for the immediate question: what restroom should I choose from here? It looks beyond pure distance so nearby options are not overlooked.
Journey IQ
Journey IQ is for planned trips. It helps compare stops along a route before the drive becomes rushed.
Scout IQ
Scout IQ is for the moving map. It looks ahead while you travel and surfaces candidate stops that fit the direction of travel.
Data sources
RestMap uses OpenStreetMap, Refuge Restrooms, Open Charge Map, MapKit/Apple Places, RestMap brand profiles, and user-submitted ratings. See how sources work.
