FAQs
How do you ensure fairness?
We calculate the geometric midpoint and optimize for minimal maximum distance, meaning we try to reduce the longest journey anyone has to make.
Can I weight certain members differently?
Yes—you can prioritize members with mobility challenges or those without cars to find more accessible spots.
What if the midpoint is in an inconvenient area?
Browse nearby venues within a small radius to find a better spot that's still fair for everyone.
Does it work for large groups?
Absolutely—whether you have 3 people or 30, we'll find a fair middle ground.
