Trying to use AI to solve a simple travel problem (finding toilets, water, etc) — does this approach make sense?
My wife traveled to the UK a while ago and one thing she kept mentioning was how annoying it was to find a toilet.
At the time I didn’t think much of it, but we’re planning a Europe trip this winter and that comment came back to me.
The more I thought about it, the more it felt like one of those small but real problems when you’re actually there — especially without internet or when everything is paid.
So I started experimenting with a small project that uses map data + some lightweight AI logic to figure out nearby essentials like toilets, water, benches, and guide you even offline.
I’m not trying to build some “AI product” for the sake of it — just trying to see if this approach actually makes sense for real travel situations.
Curious what you think:
Would this actually be useful, or is there a better way people usually handle this?
