need help potty training!!

I have a situation I hope someone else has experienced. My daughter is
2 1/2. When we are at home, she will run into the bathroom and go
potty by herself ( she will pull her own panties down too)and tells me
before she goes. When we are out & about, ( shopping etc) she wets her
pants constantly. When we are out she won't tell me when she has to go
even when I ask her. I just keep taking her to all the restrooms
hoping to catch her. Someone told me to take her to the potty every 45
min when we are out. Well, this child pees very frequently. Any idea
why she's okay at home... but then regresses once we walk out that
door? Please help. I have been using training panties with the plastic
covers over them, so she definately feels the wetness.

thank you for any advice,

She may be afraid of the strange rest rooms. After all at home she
has a single bathroom, not a room full. The automatic toilets also
can be scary for some kids.

Apparently, she is scared of restrooms. I would give it a rest. Perhaps, you
can get her going in more friendly restrooms, like bathrooms when you are
visiting neighbors and maybe a more public restroom she is used to visiting,
like maybe at work or church or something.

It is more important that she pees than she stays dry all the time.
