Ready for 100,000 people

Built for the fair,
not the cell tower.

Midway keeps the fairgrounds map, search, schedule and walking network on your phone. The useful parts stay useful when mobile data slows down or disappears.

GPS is separate from mobile data. Your location can keep working without service. The first position can take longer, and buildings can reduce accuracy.

01Map

Fairground paths, buildings and place data ship with the app.

02Search

Find food, vendors and essentials without waiting on a network.

03Plan

Your saved stops and route remain on your device.

04GPS

Center the map and follow your position without mobile data.

A map that learns

See a pin in the wrong spot? Fix it.

Vendor locations can move. Press and hold a pin or use “Pin in the wrong spot?” to suggest a correction. Midway saves the change for you and uses repeated reports to improve the map for everyone.

No public account or profile is required.

Independent by design

Made by a longtime
MN State Fairgoer.

I built Midway because planning a day at the fair meant jumping between maps, menus, schedules, and saved ideas, only for everything to get harder to access once the fairgrounds got crowded. Midway brings it all together in one place, with the essentials still available even when cell service isn’t.
