Why a real midpoint beats "let's just pick somewhere"
The street address halfway between Fort Lauderdale and Key West isn't always the most balanced spot — traffic, freeway access, and one-way streets warp travel time. A real midpoint calculator looks at coordinates, not addresses, and points you to the spot where both people drive about the same amount.
MidMeetup does this automatically. Drop both addresses, and we'll show you the fair midpoint plus a shortlist of well-rated venues right around it.
