iHow it is calculated
The midpoint is computed on the great circle from the two cities’ coordinates; then the nearest city to that point is found:
midpoint = midpoint(A, B) · city = min distance(midpoint, city)
Between Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca, the midpoint falls near Făgăraș — an almost equidistant meeting place for both cities.

?Frequently asked questions
What is the midpoint between two 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.
How do I find a halfway meeting place?
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.
Why are the distances from the two cities not exactly equal?
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.
Is the midpoint on the road?
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.
How is the geographic midpoint calculated?
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.
What is an equidistant meeting point used for?
It is useful when two people set off from different cities and want to meet “halfway”, so each travels a similar distance.
Which cities can I choose?
Nearly 100 major Romanian cities, including every county seat and large non-seat cities.
Are the distances straight-line or by road?
Straight-line (as the crow flies). By road, the real distance is usually 20–40% longer, depending on the route.
