App to find the shortest route with the least amount of climbs? I want to go from point A to point B avoiding climbs, but also take the shortest route possible with the fewest climbs. Does any mobile app exist that can find the shortest route and with the lowest sum-total amount of elevation change between two places?

Strava has this feature in the route planning tool.

In the header, you can see it has toggle switches for **popularity** (pretty nifty if the area is new to you), **min-elevation** (what you're looking for), and **manual**.

Here is an example of how it works. The below route is between two points in Palos Verde, CA - a notoriously hilly (fun) area.

**Min Elevation OFF:** !enter image description here

**Min Elevation ON:** Here's the route with the same end points and the feature turned on -- a savings of 348 feet of elevation gain, but an extra 2.5 miles of riding. !enter image description here
