calculateIsolines

Calculates areas that can be reached within specified time or distance thresholds from a given point. For example, you can use this operation to determine the area within a 30-minute drive of a store location, find neighborhoods within walking distance of a school, or identify delivery zones based on drive time.

Isolines (also known as isochrones for time-based calculations) are useful for various applications including:

• Service area visualization - Show customers the area you can serve within promised delivery times

• Site selection - Analyze potential business locations based on population within travel distance

• Site selection - Determine areas that can be reached within specified response times

Route preferences such as avoiding toll roads or ferries are treated as preferences rather than absolute restrictions. If a viable route cannot be calculated while honoring all preferences, some may be ignored.
