Description
## New Feature

## Why
To display altitude to users of certain locations/features. Flight path over city, how tall a building will be when constructed etc.
It should compliment the 3D terrain feature well.

Research direction
Start by tracing the geometry-item entry points for PointAnnotation and polylines, then review how the existing 3D terrain feature represents height. Define the supported altitude behavior across the named geometry items and verify that those items display at the requested elevation without breaking existing map rendering.
