Precision may x10 coordinates

See original GitHub issue

@jfirebaugh @jlivni reports we may be x10’ing coordinates in the Directions API polyline encoding. Might this be the factor bit here? https://github.com/mapbox/polyline/blob/master/src/polyline.js#L77

I just came across this issue myself and after some digging finally found the answer here about the precision value. It might be helpful for others as well to show the precision in an example on the main page to highlight the difference between Mapbox Directions and Google Maps.
