I posted earlier about a.placebetween.us, a site that lets you enter two addresses, then finds a business of a specified type located about halfway between those locations as a convenient meeting place. GoogleMapsMania posts about a similar site called Mezzoman that does essentially the same thing. It’s a bit more convenient to use in entering the addresses compared to a.placebetween.us, but has a smaller map window with less flexible map controls (i.e. no zoom slider, just Zoom In/Out buttons). The initial drop-down business type selector is limited, but you can enter the business type of your choice in the Google Search box that appears after you click the “Mezzoman Go!” button.
