Waze needs Public Toilets
Waze app and map editor needs a new type of place: public toilet. Existing toilet attribute of the other places is not applicable to dedicated public toilets available in many large cities. Toilet place could be added into Professional and Public category. Preferably it would have some specific attributes like genders allowed or suitable, services (urinal, toilet seat, babycare table), price, wheelchair accessible, etc. but even just having the public toilet place available in the menu would be great starting point. Most often it would be a point place but somewhere in the world may exist area toilet places as well.

It would be awesome if waze would integrate with this API for public toilets in flanders & brussels:

In Australia could link to the National public toilet map

If you did a survey, to determine the high percentage of gas stations and mini marts that have an "out of order" sign posted, you would be shocked.
And perhaps Waze users could drop a "pin" or flag a business that allows Waze users, access to their public restroom (including hours of operation to said accessible restroom. For instance my local STARBUCKS list it's hours of operations M-Sun, open till 1am. But only the drive through is open till 1am, the main establishment locks the doors to enter at 10pm.)
These suggestions are a win/win situation, providing free positive advertising, driving customers to their business and creating loyal clientele for said businesses who let Waze drivers use their restrooms!
