London launches SatLav

A new mobile phone service in London is helping people to find the nearest public toilet. It’s hardly worth coming up with a blog post full of puns… because Westminster City Council have called it SatLav. Anyone in the West End of London can text the word TOILET to 80097 to discover the most convenient convenience. It calculates your location by determining the signal strength between your phone and the nearest cell site. 40 council-run facilities are included, along with others run by the Greater London Authority, London Underground and major retailers on Oxford Street. SatLav costs 25p on top of your text message.
