Settling on a meeting spot for a lunch or a business discussion can be difficult, especially if the person you are meeting is pushy.

With mezzoman, you can be sure that a meeting spot is truly in the middle.

1. Go to mezzoman.com.

2. Enter the two addresses into the address fields and select the kind of meeting place you want to find by using the "Select Search Criteria" drop-down menu. You can choose everything from a coffee shop to an Italian restaurant to a bowling alley.

3. Click "Mezzoman Go!"

4. You will see a Google Map on the right with colored pins on it and a list of potential meeting points on the left. The red pin represents the midpoint between the two addresses you entered. The blue pins represent potential meeting spots. Clicking on a pin will bring up a text bubble with information.

5. Once you settle on a meeting spot, you can get directions by clicking the "To here" or "From here" links underneath the location's address on the left side of the Web page. This will launch a new Google Maps page where you can enter your address into the blank field and click on "Get Directions."
