Map Compose lets you draw Polylines between a list of coordinates. If you want to draw a route between two coordinates, here is what you need:

1. Fetch the route with the Google Directions API.
2. Decode the overview_polyline string using android maps utils library with PolyUtil.decode method.
3. Add this list of points to the Polyline.
