elevatr


This package provides tools to access and download elevation data available
from the Mapzen elevation and Mapzen terrain service.


Several web services are available that provide access to elevation
data. This package provides access to several of those services and
returns elevation data either as a SpatialPointsDataFrame from
point elevation services or as a raster object from raster
elevation services.  Currently, the package supports access to the
Mapzen Elevation Service <https://mapzen.com/documentation/elevation/elevation-service/>,
Mapzen Terrain Service <https://mapzen.com/documentation/terrain-tiles/>,
Amazon Web Services Terrain Tiles <https://aws.amazon.com/public-datasets/terrain/> and the USGS
Elevation Point Query Service <http://ned.usgs.gov/epqs/>.
