Nice work! Had a go at modifying an existing library to display bathymetry data a little while ago, tried writing about it. https://vulkd.com/articles/3d-underwater-maps/ Some hyperlinks there which could be of interest.

It should be fairly simple to display a linestring from a gpx file or similar to the map, just write a method to convert x/y/z coords to lng/lat/alt

Yet to write about it, but I'm doing similar processing for this map of the Great Barrier Reef. Currently a shapefile loaded into Mapbox as an extrusion layer. Looking to optimise / prettify by converting to a mesh: https://lab.citizensgbr.org/census-map/

That's actually really interesting,thanks for the link. Hadn't heard of eomap, but I am working closely with both of the partners mentioned. The bathymetry dateset I'm using is 30m resolution, and comes from another researcher who heads up much of the bathymetry work on the gbr. Will definitely follow up. Cheers!
