@turf/midpoint

midpoint

Takes two points and returns a point midway between them. The midpoint is calculated geodesically, meaning the curvature of the earth is taken into account.

Parameters

• point1 Coord first point
• point2 Coord second point

Examples

const point1 = turf.point([144.834823, -37.771257]);
const point2 = turf.point([145.14244, -37.830937]);

const midpoint = turf.midpoint(point1, point2);

//addToMap
const addToMap = [point1, point2, midpoint];
midpoint.properties['marker-color'] = '#f00';

Returns Feature<Point> a point midway between pt1 and pt2

geolib

Geolib is a library for geospatial calculations. It provides various functions for distance, area, and other geographic calculations. Compared to @turf/midpoint, Geolib offers a broader range of geospatial functions but may not be as specialized in geospatial analysis as the Turf.js library.

geodesy

Geodesy is a library for geodesic calculations. It includes functions for calculating distances, bearings, and midpoints between geographic coordinates. While it offers similar functionality to @turf/midpoint, it focuses more on geodesic calculations and less on broader geospatial analysis.
