Common questions

How is halfway from Tulsa computed?

What is the most central city to meet someone from Tulsa?
Wichita — the meeting town Ponca City, OK is about 1 h 41 from Tulsa and 1 h 37 from Wichita, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from Tulsa.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from Tulsa?
Seattle, at an estimated 25 h 48 and 1651.2 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Riverton, WY.
Can I meet two people from Tulsa at once?
