Accessible Toilets / Restroom Availability
I have yet to see in any app help for the disabled or for incontinent people who need to take more comfort breaks than charge stops. It’s nice to see people can indicate the availability of toilets in the app but not specifically disabled ones and if a RADAR, or similar key is required to access them. When we do any long distance trips we are more concerned about travelling from comfort stop to comfort stop so it would be nice to be able to filter charging stations by not only toilet availability but also disabled toilets as well. I recently added a picture of a charging and the nearest toilet picture but the picture of the toilet block must have been rejected.
Sometimes toilets are some distance away and not obvious where they are. It would be nice to be able a comment where they are and maybe add a what3words address to them. We were caught short late one night in a carpark charging our car and the nearby toilets had been vandalised. Eventually someone did walk by and they were able to tell us where others nearby might be and to our delight there was a disabled one there too. I don’t know what we would have done if that person hadn’t walked by.

I think a lot of this comes down to the quality of the data in Open Street Map. Which leads me to think that a really nice feature would be a button that tags a spot as a map problem and collects a bit of data about the nature of the problem. That information could be stored in a database which could be used to help folks who are into doing OSM updates to find places to focus on.
