The next time you are wandering around Ottawa looking for a washroom you may be able to turn to your cellphone for help.

Councillors on the city's finance and economic development committee have voted in favour of  a cellphone app that would help residents find the nearest washroom.

The "Where to Go App" would be available on iPhone and Android, and would likely be created by members of Ottawa's mobile development community.

The full city council must approve of the app before it can be created.
