Hi,

Despite nearby water fountains and toilets appearing on the map, the app only lists ones that are farther away.

Screencap from Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. Maybe I’m missing something? Thanks.

Thank you for spotting that – there’s been a slight change in how some of the mapping is generated and c.t wasn’t picking that up! I’ve worked out what’s happening and a fix will be in the next version of the app (iOS very soon, Android some time September).

Great — thanks Richard.

Apologies for bumping up an old thread, but I noticed a slight difference in how the app handles drinking water taps. The tap I've linked below is shown on the website no problem but not on the iOS app (v2.2), I assume because `access=permissive`? The node was last updated a year ago so it's not an issue with new map data. Thanks :)

Also, would you also consider displaying taps with ```drinking_water=yes``` on the website and app? I feel that the current system excludes some helpful permissive taps that could be used for drinking, such as this one by a church in Moffat.

Good idea - I’ll take a look.
