Description
Most halfway tools drop a pin at the map midpoint. But roads aren't straight or equally fast, so one person ends up driving much longer. Split the Drive finds the meeting point where the driving time is actually fair: the shortest possible longest drive, or drives as equal as possible. Add two or more people, mark anyone who should drive less, then browse real parks, coffee shops, restaurants and cinemas near the spot. Free, no sign-up, and every result is a shareable link.

Could you build this?
Yes It can be built easily by wrapping existing routing APIs (like Google Maps or Mapbox Isochrones/Distance Matrix) with simple optimization logic to balance drive times.
