Calculate the spherical geographic midpoint between two coordinates.

How it works

Enter compatible geographic values. The calculator validates the numerical inputs and applies Spherical midpoint = midpoint of the two positions on an idealized spherical Earth.

The formula

Spherical midpoint = midpoint of the two positions on an idealized spherical Earth

Variables: Latitude 1 = Latitude 1 (°); Longitude 1 = Longitude 1 (°); Latitude 2 = Latitude 2 (°); Longitude 2 = Longitude 2 (°).

Worked example

Example: The spherical midpoint between (0°, 0°) and (0°, 2°) is (0°, 1°).

Frequently asked questions

What is this Geography calculator intended for?

It is an educational tool for map scale, population and spherical geographic calculations.

Is the result suitable for professional surveying or official statistical reporting?

Not automatically. Surveying can require ellipsoidal geodesy, a specified datum and higher-precision methods, while official statistics can use defined population, land-area and growth methodologies.
