FAQ
Short answers about midpoint accuracy, privacy, nearby places, route coverage, and sharing results.
What regions are supported?
HalfwayFinder currently supports routes that start with addresses in the United States and Canada.
How does HalfwayFinder pick the midpoint?
HalfwayFinder uses the exact geographic midpoint between the two starting points and then compares the travel time from each side.
Do I need full street addresses?
Full street addresses usually give the best result, but city names, ZIP codes, landmarks, and major stations can work too as long as the geocoder can resolve them.
How accurate are the travel times?
Travel times are estimates based on the selected travel mode and public routing data. They are useful for choosing a fair meetup point, but you should still check live traffic or transit conditions before you leave.
What if there are no nearby places shown?
Nearby suggestions stay within 5 miles of the selected midpoint. If nothing matches inside that area, the site shows no results instead of stretching too far away from the midpoint.
Can I share a midpoint result with someone else?
Yes. Every result opens on a shareable URL, so you can send the same midpoint page to anyone else involved in the meetup.
Can I open the suggested places in Google Maps?
Yes. Each place card opens a Google Maps search using the place name and address so the destination is easier to recognize than a raw coordinate pin.
Why might bus or train routing be unavailable?
Public-transit coverage depends on the route data available for that corridor. When a transit provider cannot find a route, try driving, walking, or cycling instead.
Do you store my addresses?
No. Addresses are processed during the request only. The site only remembers your last search inside the current browser tab so the form can refill while that tab stays open.
