Target Elevation

Places closest to your preferred elevation score highest.

Scale0-100

Higher values rank better for this score.

How It's Calculated

Locations closest to 3,000 feet score highest, with scores halving every 2,500 feet away from the target.

1
Each place is scored from its absolute elevation difference from the target.
2
The score is 100 * exp(-ln(2) * difference feet / 2,500).
3
That means the score halves every half-life feet away from the target elevation.
