Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for assisting at least two users in finding and traveling to (and/or from) a meeting location. In one implementation, the technique generates and displays a heat map that shows at least one fair region having meeting locations that satisfy a fairness consideration. In one case, a meeting location within the fair region(s) satisfies the fairness consideration when the users can travel to (and/or from) the meeting location with an equal amount of cost. The heat map can also show one or more fairness-deficient regions that fail to satisfy the fairness consideration, relative to a specific user, with respect to one or more specified degrees of cost mismatch.
