Midpoint Calculator (Geographic)
Find the great-circle midpoint between two coordinates.
The true halfway point
Finding the point halfway between two places sounds like averaging their coordinates, but that fails over long distances because the Earth is curved. The great-circle midpoint gets it right.
Enter two coordinate pairs and it returns the true midpoint latitude and longitude along the shortest path. It is the fair meeting spot between two cities or the halfway mark on a flight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the geographic midpoint?
The point halfway along the shortest great-circle path between two locations on Earth’s surface.
Is it the average of the coordinates?
No. Simply averaging latitude and longitude is wrong over long distances; the great-circle midpoint accounts for the curvature.
What is it used for?
Finding a fair meeting point between two places, or the halfway mark on a long-distance route.
