Answer

Where should two people meet halfway?

Quick answer

Two people should meet at the geographic midpoint of their starting addresses, then pick a venue within a 5-minute drive of that midpoint with parking, reliable hours, and a 4.3★+ rating. MidMeetup automates this in about 20 seconds.

The 'fair' meeting spot isn't always exactly halfway by distance — traffic, freeway access, and parking warp the real travel time. The right approach is: (1) compute the geographic midpoint, (2) check 3–5 venues within a short drive of it, (3) pick the one with the best rating and convenient parking.

If one person is in a denser urban area and the other in a suburb, bias the spot slightly toward the suburb so the urban driver isn't fighting parking — the urban side usually has better transit fallback anyway.
