Resist the urge to unfurl your oversized map from your fannypack on random street corners or bury your nose in a 300 page guidebook. Vacations are supposed to be an adventure, but you can have fun and play it safe without totally annoying the locals. Here are six nifty gizmos that'll have you looking like a travel guru in no time.
Miz Pee
As someone with a bladder the size of a pistachio, the existence of this mobile-based could be potentially life-altering. All you need to do is send a text message with your city and state to (415) 350-2290, or you can visit the site on your mobile browser. It'll tell you where the closest and cleanest bathroom is, and it'll even give you reading material once you get there. Right now the service only covers select cities, but hey, there will always be a clean toilet waiting for you in Portland.
