Flutter - Trippo Ride Sharing App (Uber Clone) - Draw Polyline from Origin to Destination [Part-7]


In this seventh part of the Trippo Ride Sharing App series, you will implement route visualization by drawing a polyline between the origin and destination on Google Maps using Flutter. This is a core feature in any ride-sharing application, as it clearly shows the path the driver will take.

You will use the route data obtained from the Google Maps Directions API, which includes an encoded polyline string representing the full route between two points. This data is essential for rendering accurate navigation paths on the map.

The next step is decoding the encoded polyline into a list of latitude and longitude coordinates. After decoding, you will use Flutter’s Google Maps integration to draw the route on the map using a Polyline layer.

You will also customize the polyline appearance by adjusting its color, width, and styling to match a modern ride-sharing UI. This helps improve the visual clarity and user experience.

Additionally, you will ensure that the polyline updates dynamically when the origin or destination changes, making the map interactive and responsive.

By the end of this part, your Flutter app will be able to display a complete route between two locations on Google Maps, bringing you closer to a
