Near Target Place

Closer places score higher using distance to a selected place.

Scale0-100

Higher values rank better for this score.

How It's Calculated

Distance scores need a selected target place before top locations can be ranked.

1
Distance is computed with the Haversine formula.
2
The score is 100 * exp(-ln(2) * (distance miles / 50)^2).
3
That means the score is 50 at the selected radius, stays gentler near the target, and falls faster outside the radius.
