Find a place to meet in the middle
Two friends, ten coworkers, or a whole family across town — MiddleFind finds a fair spot to gather based on real travel time, then suggests restaurants, cafés, and parks nearby.
Plan a meetup →How MiddleFind works
Add everyone's starting address
Type in two or more addresses — home, the office, the kid's school, anywhere. Each person gets their own pin on the map.
We calculate the fair midpoint
Not a naive average — we use real driving, cycling, and walking times so the trip is balanced for every traveler, not just the geographic center.
Pick a venue, share, vote
See nearby restaurants, cafés, parks, and bars. Share the link, let the group vote, and lock in the winning spot.
Why "fair" beats "average"
Most map tools find the geographic center of a group of pins. That's fine if everyone drives the same speed in a straight line — they don't. A 30-mile interstate hop is faster than 8 miles of city traffic.
MiddleFind pulls real driving, cycling, and walking times for every traveler and picks the midpoint that minimizes the worst trip in the group. Nobody gets stuck with a 90-minute commute while everyone else is 10 minutes away.
Once the midpoint is locked in, we surface nearby venues from OpenStreetMap, sort them by combined travel time or fairness, and let the whole group vote on a winner — no spreadsheets, no group-text gridlock.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find a midpoint between two addresses?
MiddleFind takes everyone's starting address, calculates the geographic centroid, and then refines it using real driving, cycling, or walking times so the trip feels fair for every person — not just shortest as the crow flies.
Does it actually find restaurants and cafés near the midpoint?
Yes. Once the midpoint is set we pull nearby venues — restaurants, cafés, bars, parks, coffee shops — from OpenStreetMap, then sort them by combined travel time, fairness, or proximity so you can pick a real place to meet.
Can more than two people use it?
Absolutely. Add as many travelers as you need. The fairness algorithm scales to groups, minimizing the worst trip rather than the average so nobody gets stuck with a 90-minute drive while everyone else is 10 minutes away.
Do I have to sign up to use it?
No. Anyone can plan a meetup and share the link without an account. Sign-in is optional — it just lets you save trips and view your history.
Is MiddleFind free?
Yes, the core meetup planner — midpoint calculation, venue suggestions, sharing, and group voting — is free to use.
Can the group vote on a venue together?
Yes. When you share a meetup link, every person can join, vote on their favorite spot, and react. The group's leading pick is highlighted live so everyone knows where to head.
Does it work outside the United States?
The midpoint calculation, address search, and venue lookup are global — they work anywhere OpenStreetMap has coverage. Our seed landing pages focus on US metro pairs but the app itself is not US-only.
How accurate is the travel time estimate?
Travel times come from OpenStreetMap's routing engine using current road data. They're typically within a few minutes of Google Maps' estimate but don't account for live traffic — treat them as a strong baseline rather than a real-time ETA.
