18 / MOUNTAIN PATH PLANNER

TERRAIN
MATTERS.

Compare two candidate locations using distance, bearing, and a USGS 3DEP elevation transect. The result is planning information, not proof of radio coverage.

DATA STANDARDPREDICTION IS NOT OBSERVATION.

The terrain profile comes from USGS 3DEP. Elevation data is interpolated and is not a surveyed engineering measurement. Buildings, foliage, antenna systems, radio settings, noise, and propagation effects require real field testing.
