Provider Route Precision #209

@asadowns

Description

@asadowns

The Provider README.md states

routes must include all possible GPS samples collected by a provider.

and the example route points include coordinates such as 33.9909333514159 with 13 degrees of precision.

In practice, rounding to 5-6 decimal places is already at the limit of GPS accuracy and useful precision with the remainder of the decimals being noise.

Is it acceptable for providers to round number of decimals to 5 or 6 places. This would reduce payload and storage size for route data substantially.
