I did this a few years ago with the 1km Global Land Cover
Characteristics
Database from USGS (usgs2_0g.img.gz). There are several different
land, vegetation, and water values provided as a byte value. The data
file and legend can be found at...

http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc2_0.html

It is easy to compute the navigation so you can extract the value --

lin = ( 89.99583333333334 - lat ) / 0.00833333333333
ele = ( -179.99583333333334 - lon ) / 0.00833333333333
