Hello! I know how to add Polylines, works great.

However, after I do map.addPolyline({eg:etc});

I want to add more points to that same polyline afterwards.

Am I required to remove the Polyline and then add it back in or?

On the Polyline returned there is a getter/setter which returns or takes an array of points this can use to add the new points. I'll keep this open as I plan to add a method to push/add a single point rather than update all the points.

E.g:

When adding the initial Polyline,

this.surveyLine = {
            points: [],
          };
          this.surveyLine.points.push({
            lat: this.currentLocation.latitude,
            lng: this.currentLocation.longitude,
          });
          this.surveyLine.visible = true;
          this.surveyLine.geodesic = true;
          this.surveyLine.width = 7;
          // get the outcome of adding polyline and store
          let surveyLine = this.mapView.addPolyline(this.surveyLine);
          this.surveyLine = surveyLine;

Then inside some form of location watch or somewhere that you want to keep pinging new points to

// get the latest points
let points = this.surveyLine.points;
// Push to the array
                    points.push({
                      lat: this.currentLocation.latitude,
                      lng: this.currentLocation.longitude,
                    });
                    // set the array to the original Polyline
                    this.surveyLine.points = points;
                    ```
