I so wish I had time to do stuff like this

Quiet day your end?

A star rating system for each would be useful, any chance?

( Liked BTW )

G6snl - no need for stars - it's Switzerland after all

Scootergal - errr - no! but then why not use the file in your gps (assuming you have one)?
If you do not and it's toilet location you're after, also look in Playstore for 'Find Toilets' also free. Worldwide - screen shot for you

Ah well..............

Actually my wife tells me that the loo located 46.2047,6.150933 on google maps is the worst one she has seen for years anywhere ! Having stood in line desperate, for what seemed like hours she could only assume the very Petit, dark haired ladies, (of eastern appearance), were carrying far too many cameras & tablet computers to make a successful attempt at "hitting the water". She reckons they must have been standing ..... It was a very hot day and not a particularly appealing "Swiss-suna"

The blokes are not too bad ( 3 star rating )

The bar/restaurant near by is very good!

I knew we had one for Oz but didn't know it was now worldwide. I coulda used that in France where public toilets are "hidden".

Ummm at least 100meters uphill from a stream. So defiantly NOT where that arrow is.

For that photo .. well I'd say your sitting on it As it is at least 100 meters from a stream. Added plus - a view. Select a spot to dig a hole and there you have it.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
