GPS Points

GPS points are indexed in decimal format, to an accuracy of 6 decimal places (which represents on average an accuracy of 10cm on Earth). A meta consists of two double values separated by commas.

Example: 37.818667,-122.478383 is a valid meta.

XY Points

XY points consist of two integer values, separated by commas.

Example: 125, 8215 is a valid meta.

No unit is defined, so you can consider the unit as meters, miles, or whatever unit you need.
