Halfway point between two addresses
Drop in two addresses and get the midpoint straight away — what neighbourhood it lands in, the closest station, and three real places to meet with each person's travel time next to them.
Why the midpoint is not always the meeting point
A geographic midpoint ignores how people actually travel. Two addresses five miles apart can be a 15-minute ride for one person and a 45-minute trip with two transfers for the other, and the exact midpoint often lands somewhere with nothing to do. That is why every suggestion above carries both travel times: the fair spot is usually a short distance from the midpoint, next to a station both people can reach without changing lines.
Questions
- How do you calculate the halfway point between two addresses?
- Both addresses are geocoded and the geographic midpoint between them is found, then named with its neighbourhood. Because a map midpoint can still be an awkward trip for one person, every suggested venue also shows door-to-door travel time from each address so you can see whether it is genuinely fair.
- Is the midpoint the best place to meet?
- Not always. Traffic, transit lines and transfers mean the fair meeting point is often a few blocks from the geographic midpoint, usually next to a station both people can reach directly. Use the travel times shown on each suggestion, and run a full fair-travel search when you want the results ranked on fairness.
- Can I find a halfway point for more than two addresses?
- Yes. The main Triangulmate search takes up to ten starting addresses, each with its own travel mode, and only returns venues where everyone's journey is a similar length.
- Does it work outside New York?
- Yes. Anywhere Google has address and place coverage works, though the transit detail is richest in cities with good public transport data.
