LONDON: A new service promises Londoners they'll never have to spend much time looking for the loo.
Westminster City Council, which covers London's bustling Oxford Street, the West End, and the Houses of Parliament, on Thursday launched "SatLav" — a toilet-finding service for mobile phone users.
Harried theatergoers, distressed shoppers and hard-pressed bar patrons in London's West End can now text the word "toilet" — and receive a text back giving the address of the nearest public facility.
The system, which covers 40 public toilets, triangulates a user's position by measuring the strength of the phone signal. The texts cost 25 pence (US$0.52, €0.35), while most of Westminster's toilets are free.
