    I have a world globe which shows latitude and longitude at cursor position etc.

    I now need to bring in other geodata to display along with the latitude and longitude.Data such as elevation and bathymetry (ocean depth etc), and historical weather data.

    The tileset I'm using is Mapbox satellite_streetmaps, not a terrain map with elevation.

    Now for the elevation, I could I guess use the Mapbox API, but I have not found it reliable.

    Currently looking at opentopodata.org which is good and relatively fast e.g.

    https://api.opentopodata.org/v1/eudem25m?locations=51.875127,-3.341298

    But still to be tested if fast enough for mouse over data.

    Is there anything already built into Unity that I could tap into for this data?
