Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the halfway point between two cities?
Enter each city name or address into the location fields and click Find Meeting Point. The tool calculates a fair driving midpoint — not just a straight-line centre — and shows drive times for everyone.
Is this meeting point calculator free?
Yes, completely free. No sign-up, no subscription, no usage limits. It runs on OpenStreetMap and open routing data.
Does it use actual driving routes, not just straight-line distance?
Yes. The tool uses real road networks to find a point where everyone’s drive time is as equal as possible. If there’s a mountain range between two locations, the suggested meeting point reflects the actual route — not an unreachable spot in the middle of nowhere.
Can I use this for more than two people?
Yes — up to three locations. Click + Add another person to add a third starting point. The tool finds the fairest meeting point across all three routes, minimising the gap between the longest and shortest journey.
What are Points of Interest and how do I use them?
After finding your meeting point, use the Show nearby dropdown to browse restaurants, cafes, pubs, parks, libraries, or parking near the suggested spot. Change the radius to widen the search — results update automatically without recalculating the meeting point.
How accurate are the drive time estimates?
Routing uses OSRM (Open Source Routing Machine), based on OpenStreetMap road data. Estimates are close to real-world times for most routes. The tool does not account for live traffic conditions.
Can I share my results with someone else?
Yes. Click Copy share link and the current locations are encoded in the URL. Paste the link and the other person will open the same starting points and meeting point automatically.
What search radius should I use for nearby places?
Start with 5 km for urban areas. For rural locations or something specific like a park, try 10–20 km. For dense city centres where you want walkable options, 2 km works well.
Does this work for international meeting points?
The calculator works anywhere covered by OpenStreetMap, which includes most countries. It calculates driving routes only — it won’t suggest a midpoint requiring an ocean crossing or closed border.
What if the suggested point is in an awkward spot?
The meeting point is always snapped to a real road, so it should always be driveable. If it lands somewhere inconvenient — a motorway with no stops, for example — use the nearby places search at a larger radius to find a practical venue close by.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The map and controls are fully responsive and adjust to phone and tablet screens automatically.
