UpToMeet, a world-based tool, finds fair halfway meeting points using real driving routes and nearby venues, complementing scheduling apps like Doodle that handle timing but not location.

Den Haag , Netherlands, October 4, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Scheduling tools such as Doodle help groups settle on a time to meet, using polls and calendar integrations to narrow down availability. UpToMeet, a company based in Den Haag, addresses a different problem: finding a fair physical place to meet once a time has been agreed upon. UpToMeet is positioned as a group meeting point tool that calculates a practical halfway location based on real driving routes and nearby venues, filling a gap that scheduling apps do not cover.

Agreeing on a time is often only part of the challenge, since groups frequently spend additional time debating where to meet, particularly when participants are traveling from different directions. Doodle's strength lies in organizing availability through polls and calendar integrations, but it does not extend to helping people decide on a location, leaving that part of the process unresolved.

UpToMeet closes that gap by looking at the actual driving route between two starting points rather than drawing a straight line between them, since a simple geographic midpoint rarely produces a useful result. Instead, the tool follows the real route and identifies its midpoint along the way, then searches for nearby cafés, restaurants, hotels, and workspaces, giving users options that are reachable for everyone involved.

The tool is built for quick, low-friction use: two people, a small team, or a larger group can add their starting points without creating an account, making it suitable for both spontaneous plans and scheduled meetups. The goal is to reduce the time spent discussing logistics so people can focus on the meeting itself.

Balancing travel time and distance for every participant is central to the concept, whether that means friends and family settling on a café or business colleagues choosing a hotel or workspace near the midpoint of their combined routes. The emphasis stays on practicality rather than convenience for just one side of the group.

Industry reporting notes that Doodle remains a useful option for coordinating meeting times, offering polls, calendar integrations, and connections to video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. UpToMeet addresses the separate question of where to meet, a step that often involves extended back-and-forth discussion among group members. Used together, the two tools cover both sides of planning an in-person gathering: when to meet and where to go.

For groups weighing both questions, the distinction matters: scheduling software narrows down availability, while a meeting point tool narrows down location, and treating these as separate tasks can simplify the overall planning process.
