 ### calculateIsolinesResponseToFeatureCollection
 
-This converts a CalculateIsolineResponse from the standalone Routes SDK to a GeoJSON FeatureCollection which contains one Feature for each isoline
-in the response. Isolines can contain both polygons for isoline regions and lines for connectors between regions
-(such as ferry travel), so each Feature is a GeometryCollection that can contain a mix of Polygons and LineStrings.
-The `flattenProperties` option will flatten the nested response data into a flat properties list.
-This option is enabled by default, as it makes the data easier to use from within MapLibre expressions.

 Any feature that is missing its geometry in the response or has invalid geometry will throw an Error().
