When meeting up with someone, it can be hard to choose a spot halfway between the two of you for ease. For some reason, this isn’t a standard feature of many other maps apps. Finding that midway point can be kind of clunky if you’re working it out on your own. For that reason, MeetWays steps in to pick up the slack.
The site works exactly as advertised: enter two addresses, and MeetWays will search for points of interest near the middle. You can also specify a certain type of place you want to meet at, like a restaurant or cafe. It’ll even show you ratings of the venues that sit between the two of you – so you know the cafe you’re choosing is going to be reasonable.
It’s a pretty genius way of planning out a catch-up that is convenient for both parties.
