Pick two cities and get the geographic midpoint and the nearest city to it — ideal for an equidistant, halfway meeting place.
Choose the cities
Find the city nearest the half-way point along the straight line between two cities — handy for an equidistant meet-up.
Midpoint coordinates: 52.467, -1.165
The geographic midpoint and the nearest city in the list. Distances are straight-line, not by road.

The midpoint is computed on the great circle from the two cities’ coordinates; then the nearest city to that point is found:
Between Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca, the midpoint falls near Făgăraș — an almost equidistant meeting place for both cities.
It is the half-way point along the straight line between two cities, computed on the Earth’s surface from their coordinates. The calculator also shows the city nearest to that point.
Choose the two cities and the calculator finds the city nearest the geographic midpoint. It is ideal for picking an equidistant place where both people drive roughly the same distance.
The meeting city is the nearest real city to the midpoint, not the exact mathematical point. That is why the straight-line distances from each city can differ slightly.
No. It is the geographic (straight-line) midpoint, and the meeting city is the nearest city in the list. The real road distance differs from the straight-line one.
It is computed on the great circle from the two cities’ coordinates, accounting for the Earth’s curvature, rather than as a simple average of latitudes and longitudes.
It is useful when two people set off from different cities and want to meet “halfway”, so each travels a similar distance.
About 50 major UK cities — among them London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Cardiff. You can also switch the country to Romania or Turkey.
Straight-line (as the crow flies). By road, the real distance is usually 20–40% longer, depending on the route.
