+=======
+To represent a route, MDS `provider` APIs should create a GeoJSON Feature Collection, which includes every observed point in the route. Each point is expressed as a GeoJSON `Feature` with a `Point` geometry.
+
+Route point features must include at least a UTC timestamp and accuracy radius in the `properties` key. Optional fields may be omitted or use the `null` value.
+>>>>>>> Add point accuracy & define optional point feature properties
 
 Routes must include at least 2 points: the start point and end point. Additionally, routes must include all possible GPS samples collected by a provider.

+| Field | Type | Required? | Example | Comments |
+| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
+| `timestamp` | Unix Timestamp | Required | `1529968782.421409` | Date when location was observed, expressed as seconds since midnight (0 hours) UTC on Jan 1, 1970. |
+| `horizontalAccuracy` | Number | Required | `10` | Radius of uncertainty in meters. Must be positive. This field is not well-defined across platforms; but should be supplied in the spirit of [Android's `Location.getAccuracy`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#getAccuracy()) or [`CLLocation.horizontalAccuracy` from iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/1423599-horizontalaccuracy). |
+| `speed` | Number | Optional | `3.4` | Instantaneous speed in meters per second. Must be non-negative or `null`. Ref: [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/1423798-speed) [Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#getSpeed()) |
+| `course` | Number | Optional | `352` | The direction in which the device is traveling, measured in degrees and relative to due north. Must be in the range `[0, 360)` or `null`. Ref: [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/1423832-course) [Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#getBearing()) |
+| `altitude` | Number | Optional | `45` | The altitude, measured in meters. Ignored if `verticalAccuracy` is `null`. Ref: [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/1423820-altitude) [Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#getAltitude()) |
+| `verticalAccuracy` | Number | Optional | `30` | The uncertainty of the altitude value, in meters. Must be non-negative or `null`. Ref: [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/1423550-verticalaccuracy) [Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location.html#getVerticalAccuracyMeters()) |
