Maybe a dynamic step width like this ... or something like this

S = rounded (sqrt(R))

S = step width in meters
R = true range to object in meters


Results...

        Distance        Steps
.......................................
   100m  -     600m     10m
   700m  -    2499m     50m
  2500m  -   22499m    100m

Example:
R = 4557m
sonarman "sees" object on the radar at = 4426m
S = 68m, rounded to 100m
sonarman reports = "object distance at 4 4 0 0 meters"

Edit: This formular does not offer truly "good values". Especially the rounded-function has some probs
