Coordinate finds the fair place to meet in the middle — not just the geographic midpoint, but the spot that's an equal trip for everyone, based on real driving, transit, or walking time. No more arguing about who drives further. Pick what you're in the mood for — coffee, food, a bar, a park, a gas stop — and Coordinate suggests great places right in the middle, ranked so nobody gets stuck with the long haul. Slide between "closest to me" and "split it evenly" to tune what fair means to you. How it works • Set your location — GPS or search an address. • Add their location, or send an invite to fill it in. • Get a shortlist of fair meeting spots with ratings and travel times. • Tap Directions, or share the spot to anyone by text. Why Coordinate • Fair by travel time, not just distance — nobody eats the whole commute. • Share the chosen spot with anyone — they just tap a maps link, no app needed. • Private by design — no account, and your locations aren't kept on a server. • Your choice of maps — open directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps. • Every kind of meetup — coffee, dinner, a walk, or a halfway handoff. Coffee, dinner, a walk, swapping the kids halfway — Coordinate finds the middle so you don't have to figure it out.
