Meet in the middle, fairly
Split the Drive finds a place to meet that divides the driving fairly between everyone — measured in real driving time, not a point drawn halfway across a map. Enter where each person is starting, and it returns a spot where the drives balance out, plus real towns and places near it to actually meet.
Why a map midpoint isn't fair
The geometric midpoint — the pin exactly halfway between two places on the map — looks fair, but roads aren't drawn in straight lines and they don't all move at the same speed. A highway on one side and winding back-roads on the other can mean one person drives 40 minutes to the "midpoint" while the other drives 90. Splitting the distance quietly hands the longer trip to whoever has the slower roads.
Split the Drive optimizes the thing people actually care about — how long they're behind the wheel. It searches over real driving times and settles on the point where the time works out fairly, which on lopsided routes sits noticeably closer to whoever would otherwise have driven longer.
Two ways to be fair
"Fair" can mean two different things, so the tool lets you choose which one:
Fairest
Makes the longest single drive as short as possible. Nobody gets stuck with a much worse trip than everyone else — the person who would have driven farthest is protected first. Good default when you just want no one to suffer.
Equal drives
Makes everyone's drive as close to the same length as possible — it minimizes the gap between the shortest and longest trip. The meeting point might be slightly farther for the whole group, but no one can say they drove more than anyone else.
You can also weight individuals (someone driving with kids, or on a tighter schedule) so the fair point leans their way.
