  "properties": {
    "marker-color": '#f00'
  },
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [-75.343, 39.984]
  }
};
var point2 = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {
    "marker-color": '#0f0'
  },
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [-75.534, 39.123]
  }
};
 
var points = {
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [point1, point2]
