Meet InBetween Us: find a place to meet
If you have friends who live across town from you, it can be a constant tussle over who is going to drive to whose neighborhood. Sometimes the best answer is to find an agreeable place to meet in the middle, and now you can do that quickly and easily on a site called Meet InBetween Us. It uses the power of Google Maps to suggest places to meet, and then gives you the driving directions. Using Meet InBetween Us only involves a few steps. First, put in the starting locations of everyone who's meeting, and then adjust the "middle ground" according to your needs. The halfway point between a friend and me was in the middle of a river, for example, so I moved it onto land. Potential meeting places are divided into categories, to make sure you don't get a bar when you want a coffee shop. Once you find one you want, just click "meet here," and it will come up on the map and show you driving directions. If popular restaurant recommendation sites like Yelp and Urbanspoon added this as a feature, it would be phenomenally useful.
