Yes it is safe to do that. Polyline encodes arbitrary integers.
Multiplication by a factor and rounding is the first step. Dividing by
the factor is the last step.

Sadly the python implementation hard-codes this factor. Might be up
for a rewrite?

Cheers,
Patrick

I've noticed that, when I use a standard decoder to decode these polylines (i.e. Python's polyline package), the lat/lon coordinates I get are multiplied by a factor of 10. Googling around, I found that this is due to OSRM producing coordinates at a higher precision; is there a way for me to decode these without writing my own decoder, or digging into an existing one? Is it safe for me to simply divide the decoded coordinates by 10?
