Update polyline route with user's live location flutter

Question

When i update the polyline code, on location change method, It gives me additional straight line. I want to update my polyline when user move from one source to destination. I am able to create a polyline route but i want that route become shorter with the location of the user. So i am replacing the source location with user's current location. And if user change takes different turn than the polyline should update as per it happens in google map apps.

below is the code.

import 'package:flutter_polyline_points/flutter_polyline_points.dart';
import 'package:google_maps_flutter/google_maps_flutter.dart';
import 'package:location/location.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:routelines/components/map_pin_pill.dart';
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:routelines/models/pin_pill_info.dart';

const double CAMERA_ZOOM = 16;
const double CAMERA_TILT = 80;
const double CAMERA_BEARING = 30;

const LatLng SOURCE_LOCATION = LatLng(22.993966, 72.498510);
const LatLng DEST_LOCATION = LatLng(23.014672, 72.530558);

Any help would be appreciated!

Solved the issue by clear the polylineCoordinates before adding the polyline.
