Meet halfway: find a fair spot between two addresses

Type in both starting points and pick coffee, drinks or food. The tool finds the geographic midpoint and lists the nearest places there, sorted so neither person has the longer trip by much — with both distances shown, so the choice is visibly fair.

Addresses are looked up with OpenStreetMap (Nominatim and Photon) and never stored by Breve. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Why meeting in the middle works for first dates

“Where should we go?” is where a lot of first-date plans stall. Suggesting somewhere near the midpoint ends the negotiation: nobody is asked to cross town, and it shows you thought about their side of the trip.

It’s also safer and more comfortable for a first meeting — a public place that’s easy for both of you to get to and to leave from.

How to use it

  1. Enter two starting points

    Neighborhoods are fine — you don’t need anyone’s home address. “Capitol Hill, Seattle” works.

  2. Pick the kind of place

    Coffee for a daytime date, drinks for an evening, food if you’re already sure.

  3. Suggest two

    Offer two of the spots in your message and let them choose. Check opening hours first.

Good to know

  • Distances are straight-line, not travel time — a river or highway can change the real trip.
  • If the midpoint lands in a park or on water, nudge one starting point or switch the kind of place.
  • Place data comes from OpenStreetMap, so very new spots may be missing.

Questions

How do I find the halfway point between two addresses?

Enter both addresses above. The tool calculates the geographic midpoint and shows places near it, with each person’s distance.

Do I need to share my home address?

No. A neighborhood, intersection or landmark works just as well, and nothing you enter is stored by Breve.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up. It uses OpenStreetMap data.
