Midpoint Calculator — Find the Halfway Point Between Two Locations

The tool computes the geographic midpoint — the point exactly halfway along the great-circle path (the shortest route over the Earth's surface) between A and B. This is more accurate than averaging the latitudes and longitudes, which drifts noticeably over long distances because the Earth is a sphere, not a flat grid.

No. This is the straight-line halfway point. The halfway point along a driving route depends on the roads taken and is usually somewhere else. The straight-line midpoint is the right starting place for choosing a fair meeting area; from there you can look for a town or venue nearby using the address shown under the result.

Yes — that is the most common use. Search both cities, and the blue M pin shows the exact halfway point, with its coordinates and the nearest address. Open it in Google Maps to look for restaurants, cafés, or towns around it, or use the Nearby Services on our coordinates finder for the same spot.

The geographic midpoint is a mathematical point, so between coastal cities or across continents it can land on water or empty land. When that happens the address lookup says so, and you can drag either end pin — or pick the nearest town to the M pin — to settle on a practical meeting place.

This tool computes the midpoint of two points. For three or more locations the equivalent is the centre of gravity (centroid) of the set, which is a different calculation — drop the points as a shape in our area calculator to eyeball the centre, or compute pairwise midpoints as an approximation.
