Does anyone else have the same problem?

Yep. I can definitely attest to having those problems.

My coastdown location goes around Humboldt bay, so it's exactly sealevel the whole way, but very windy.

As for any of you who are more inland, try finding a road through some river-bottom farmland. That's about as flat as you're likely to find.
