Website makes meeting in the middle easier

Have you ever had to meet someone halfway between here and there?

If you have, you’ll be happy to know that there’s now a way to find a place to meet in the middle. Restaurant, coffee shop, golf course, bar, hotel, mall, theater and more. Just type in the addresses of the two starting points, pick what type of place you’d like to meet and click the “Find a Place to Meet” button.

The website is MeetInBetween.us and it lets you tweak the results if you aren’t satisfied with what the software comes up with. I tried a few different points of origin I was familiar with and it came up with some good possibilities although I had to tweak the results both times.

There’s a video at BobStovall.com that shows you how it works.

You can also use the website to find the halfway point of any trip you are taking. Just enter the starting point and the destination address and let the software do the work.

So, the next time you have to meet someone somewhere in between, give MeetInBetween.us a try. Like all things dependent on mapping technology, the results will get better and better over time until you won’t know what you did without it.
