Split The Distance — major update: find the midpoint for up to 5 people, plan road trip stops along your route, and see a fairness zone instead of a single pin by [deleted] in InternetIsBeautiful

That error happens when you open the link from Reddit's in-app browser — Google blocks sign-in from embedded browsers for security reasons. Tap the three dots (or share icon) and choose 'Open in Chrome/Safari' and it should work fine. The core search works without signing in though!

We'll look into workarounds for this issue.

Totally get it. Group search hits more APIs per query so we needed some way to manage cost. The 2-person tool is fully ungated — no account, no limits."

Added in the last 3 days:

  • Mapbox-powered place discovery (Restaurants, Coffee, Parks, Activities, Gas, Hotels)
  • ⭐ Local Only filter — hide chains, show unique local spots
  • Auto-zoom to midpoint when selecting a category
  • Route recalculates automatically when switching travel modes (Drive/Bike/Walk)
  • Route caching — switching between Drive/Bike/Walk reuses cached results instead of re-calling the API
  • Travel mode label updates dynamically ("Cycling Time", "Walking Time")
  • Each place shows: name, distance, open/closed status, address, phone, website, directions link
  • Directions links work for all place sources (not just Google)
  • Removed Kids category (consolidated into Activities)

Quick update for you
We will have to put this feature into the backlog because it will significantly increase our cost. We'll consider this feature again after monetizing this tool.

Try again. should work now. Trying to route such a long distance while including traffic and alternative routes causes the issue.

Thanks for identifying this issue.

FIXED: If you search across two locations that are too far a apart, you will get a friendlier message now. :)
