Drinking water map
Find the nearest tap, fountain or water point to fill a bottle, near you or anywhere you type in. Only water that’s marked drinkable is shown, unless you ask for the rest.
What counts as drinking water
Taps, fountains and water points mapped as drinking water, and anything else someone has marked drinkable, like a tap at the toilets or at a campsite. Springs and taps with nothing to say either way only show if you tick the box, and they’re marked to filter or treat.
Refill points
Some cafés and shops say on the map that they’ll fill a bottle with tap water. They’re listed as refill points. It’s polite to ask inside.
For a longer trip
For a ride or a walk over several days, the water and resupply planner looks along the whole route and picks out the long stretches without water. Choose a route file here and it opens there.
Missing a tap?
The map is drawn by volunteers, so plenty of taps aren’t on it yet. If you know one, add a note on OpenStreetMap from the link under the list, and a local mapper will add it.
Questions people ask
How far does it look?
2 km around you first, then 6 km, then 15 km, until it has five places to choose from.
Can it find other things too?
Yes. Tap More above the results to add drinking water, food shops, toilets, showers, cash machines, campsites and the rest. It’s one tool, called Places you’ll need.
Is the water safe to drink?
We only show it as drinking water when it’s mapped that way, and that isn’t a guarantee. Taps break or get switched off for part of the year. If in doubt, filter or treat it.
Why are some taps missing?
OpenStreetMap only has what volunteers have added. Cities and popular trails are well covered, and smaller places less so.
Can I see the water along a route?
Yes. Choose a route file and it opens in the water and resupply planner, with the stops in the order you’ll reach them.
How up to date is it?
Pebbls keeps its own copy of OpenStreetMap and refreshes it every week, which is why answers come back quickly. Anything added to the map today shows here within a week or so.
Does it use my location?
Only if you press Use my location and say yes when your browser asks. A rounded version, to about 100 metres, goes to Pebbls’ server. It’s only used for that search.
The water and shops come from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers keep up to date. Our copy of it is refreshed every week. Taps get turned off and shops close, so check locally before you rely on one. Water is only shown as drinkable when it’s marked that way on the map, and even that isn’t a guarantee.
