Description
## Motivation
The imagery in the new Photorealistic 3D Tiles has some impressive resolution. Google says their tiles can be used with CesiumJS or deck.gl, and that they are in the the [OGC standard glTF format](https://portal.ogc.org/files/102132).
Is it possible to use their tiles for terrain as an alternative to Mapbox’s? If so, how?
