global-elevation v0.2.1

Global Elevation

Get the elevation for every point on earth.

Install

npm i global-elevation

This will create a tmp folder, download the data from the source and pre-process it. Note that this may take a few minutes... but only for the first query. Subsequent queries will be extremely fast. So the best use case for this lib is if you want the heights of thousands/millions of points.
