The format seems failry  straightforward and the document should explain the various data 
identifiers. which appreas to be a leading  three character string - "!" followed by "0L" 
 
Each item starts with a header followed by the data
+USA/@33.7833331,-100.138283,5z/  'Map centre and zoom level?
data=
!3m1
!4b1
!4m85
!4m84

Then it is apparently 6 pieces of data for each point on the route.

!1m5 = same for every entry! 
!1m1 = same for every entry! 
!1s0x88646f7df48bd7b9:0xf3817765e325957a = GUIDs ?
!2m2 = same for every entry!
!1d-86.7413824   = Latitude
!2d36.0952999    = Longitude
