Halfway Point Between Two Addresses — Meet Fairly in the Middle

Finding a fair place to meet between two addresses shouldn’t be a hassle. Whether you’re planning a casual coffee, a client meeting, or a safe Craigslist exchange, midpoint.place calculates the exact midpoint between any two locations and suggests great venues nearby so nobody travels unfairly far.

The problem with "I'll come to you"

Politeness often dictates that one person travels to the other. But over time, this creates an imbalance.

• The "Host" Fatigue: The person who stays local has to clean/prep or just feels guilty.
• The "Traveler" Burnout: The person driving feels their time is valued less.
• The Solution: A neutral halfway point resets the dynamic to 50/50.

How to find the perfect halfway point

1. Input the Starts

Enter the two addresses. They can be specific (123 Main St) or general (Zip Code 90210).

2. Analyze the Center

The tool places a pin at the geographic center.

• Tip: If the center is in a lake or a highway interchange, zoom out slightly to find the nearest commercial zone.

3. Select the Venue

Don't just say "Meet at the gas station." Look for:

• Coffee Shops: For low-stakes chats.
• Diners: For meals.
• Malls: For safe, public exchanges.

Common Scenarios

The Online Marketplace Swap

Selling a guitar on Facebook Marketplace? Don't have a stranger come to your house.

• Strategy: Find the halfway point between you and the buyer.
• Venue: A busy gas station or police station parking lot.

The First Date

Meeting someone from a dating app who lives in a different borough?

• Strategy: Find a bar or cafe in the middle.
• Benefit: If the date goes poorly, you both have an equal commute home.

The Long-Distance Friend

You live in City A, they live in City B (2 hours apart).

• Strategy: Find the town at the 1-hour mark.
• Benefit: It turns a "slog" into a manageable day trip.

Technical details: Distance vs. Time

• Geographic Midpoint: The physical center "as the crow flies." Good for general fairness.
• Travel Time Midpoint: The point where drive times are equal. (e.g., if one person is driving on a fast highway and the other on slow city streets, the point moves closer to the city driver). midpoint.place supports both perspectives.

FAQs

Do I need exact addresses?
No. You can use landmarks ("Eiffel Tower") or drag pins on the map.

What if the halfway point is unsafe?
Always check the street view or use well-known venues (like Starbucks or McDonald's) which tend to be in trafficked areas.

Can I share the map?
Yes, sending the link proves to the other person that you picked a spot that is mathematically fair.
