Add USGS 3DEP to map view? #4197

Open endolith opened 1 year ago

In some places, USGS 3DEP data shows cliff edges/locations much better than satellite photos. I believe USGS is public domain?

The biggest problem with it is that it would only work in the US. Would be great if it was implemented as a part of a drop-down menu containing LIDAR imagery from many countries.

Well I'm requesting it be added to the drop down menu as an option
