Several web services are available that provide access to elevation
data. This package provides access to many of those services and
returns elevation data either as an 'sf' simple features object
from point elevation services or as a 'raster' object from raster
elevation services. In future versions, 'elevatr' will drop
support for 'raster' and will instead return 'terra' objects.
Currently, the package supports access to the Amazon Web Services
Terrain Tiles <https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/>,
the Open Topography Global Datasets
API <https://opentopography.org/developers/>, and the USGS
Elevation Point Query Service <https://apps.nationalmap.gov/epqs/>.
